The Blerd and the Beautiful is a collective of Black nerds and beautiful souls. We celebrate Black cultural expression and work to prevent childhood bullying through communities of acceptance and belonging.
As reading is a form of self-affirmation, The Blerd and the Beautiful is passionate about helping you see yourself reflected in a book.
We offer readers' advisory as a tool to amplify Black voices and create a sense of belonging. Our bookish community is designed to help you build confidence and empathy through the lens of literature.
