Why is there a need for a Black nerds event?
Could you name at least three black superheroes outside of Black Panther, Storm from the X-Men, or Luke Cage? Could you name at least three black authors without searching on Google? Could you name at least one black artist outside of comics? Events such as the Black Nerds Expo is to make aware the existence of black pop culture that isn’t usually shown or celebrated in mainstream media.
Can I exhibit if I'm not a Black exhibitor?
The purpose of the Black Nerds Expo is to showcase Black-created work and content since events such as these are offered sparingly for the Black community in San Diego. There are some exhibitors who have partnered with Black allies and exhibited, which is fine. If you are still looking to be a part of the Black Nerds Expo, consider becoming a volunteer.
Will there be another Black Nerds Expo?
Black Nerds Expo is currently on hiatus, so for now, the answer is no.
Why is Black Nerds Expo on hiatus?
Running an event like this takes a lot of money, time, and energy. While one of the Black Nerds Expo's goals was to eliminate barriers for Black entrepreneurs and creatives, the venues that the expo has used has increased barriers, paperwork, and costs. These increases couldn't be offset by investing more time and energy, and the amount of money set aside for this one event was very low compared to the amount it took to run this event.
