Black Girl Nerds

In this episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we speak with MSNBC's Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning journalist, Trymaine Lee, to speak on behalf of his highly acclaimed and powerful new podcast, "Into America".
Trymaine has truly amplified the voices of African-Americans throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with his unique style of storytelling and the topics featured on the show – from covering Cancer Alley to a close-up look at the effects of the coronavirus behind bars to his one-on-one with Stacey Abrams on avoiding voter suppression in November.

BGN welcomes author Jason Michael Primrose of the new book '205Z: Time and Salvation'.
In the story, the year is 2052, humanity’s last year on Earth. Natural disasters have ravaged the Earth leaving nations devastated, food and resources limited, and civil unrest rising among a doomed population crammed into claustrophobic cities.
Jason has been obsessed with conceptualizing alternate worlds and characters since childhood. Their origins were devised as allegorical and subconscious outlets that expressed both his trials and triumphs as an LGBTQ+ person of color and struggles with finding his voice, focus, and purpose as a multi-hyphenate creative. Out of this, the Lost Children of Andromeda universe was born.

This week's Black Girl Nerds podcast welcomes comic book creator and screenwriter Tyler Martin and Ms. Pat of 'The Ms. Pat Show'.
Segment 1: Tyler F. Martin is a comic book and screenplay writer, publisher, editor, and creative director based in Atlanta Georgia. An avid Star Wars fan, self-proclaimed Blerd, and lover of all things comics, he is most notably recognized for founding Godhood Comics. An Atlanta-based publishing company and one of the fastest-growing and Black-owned independent comic book publishers in the U.S. Godhood Comics was founded in 2014 and designed to highlight diversity in comics by focusing on telling stories around BIPOC (Black and indigenous people of color) characters and concepts.
Creator of titles such as Mega Woman, Sharpshooter, Galactic Patrol Delta, and the extremely popular comic series The Antagonists.
Host: Ryanne
Segment 2: Based on Ms. Pat’s stand-up comedy and memoir, The Ms. Pat Show is the story of a former convicted felon turned suburban mom and stand-up comedian, whose hustle and resilient spirit was forged on the streets of Atlanta. To much reserve, she now finds herself in conservative middle America alongside her penny-pinching husband played by J. Bernard Calloway (City On A Hill), a struggle of a sister played by Tami Roman (The Family Business), and two distinct sets of kids played by Theodore Barnes (The Prince of Peoria), newcomer Briyana Guadalupe and Vince Swann (50 Central), raised under very different circumstances.

BGN sits down with recording artist TeaMarrr featured on season 4 of HBO's Insecure soundtrack.
Shaking up pop, hip-hop, R&B, and more with a sharp sense of humor — and even sharper mic skills — TeaMarrr emerged in 2016 and quickly earned more than 4 million worldwide streams and high profile media attention spanning Flaunt and NPR to Ones To Watch and Consequence of Sound, to name but a few. The Boston-born and Los Angeles-based Haitian-American songstress truly broke through in 2018 with the hit single, “One Job,” scoring over 1.2 million streams and the attention of Raedio founder Issa Rae, who soon signed her. The track is joined by an official companion video, directed by James Bland.
