Get ready, nerds and Blerds! The multi-talented creator and adult cinema star, Ameena Green, just announced she’s joining the incredible lineup for Blerdcon 2025. This ain’t your average convention – Blerdcon is *the* spot celebrating Black nerd culture, and this year, they’re bringing the scares!
Why Blerdcon? It’s a Whole Vibe!
If you haven’t heard, Blerdcon is where it’s at for Black nerds (Blerds!) and allies. It’s an annual explosion of cosplay, gaming, panels, and pure community connection held in Arlington, Virginia. The event carves out a crucial space that highlights and celebrates Blerd culture, fostering inclusivity for everyone – LGBTQ folks, people with disabilities, POCs, and international guests are all welcomed. Blerdcon specifically aims to create a marketplace of ideas where culture can be shared with context and positivity. For many, it’s a vital safe space in fandoms that can often feel overwhelmingly white or exclusionary.
This year’s theme? Get ready for “THRILLA!! Yew Skerd!” Blerdcon is diving deep into horror, spotlighting Black writers, cosplayers, storytellers, and artists who kill it in the genre. Expect a “spine-tingling experience” packed with “gouls and ghosts and fright-fun”!
Ameena herself is hyped for the atmosphere. She shared:
“I am so excited to be invited to Blerdcon. The group there offers such a sense of community, and I’m looking forward to meeting with fans. Come check it out, you won’t be disappointed.”
Meet Ameena Green: Creator & Blerd
So, who’s Ameena Green? She’s known for her work in adult cinema, but she’s also a passionate content creator and a self-proclaimed nerd. She recently launched her own publication, A3 Magajin, back in December 2024.
At Blerdcon, you can catch Ameena as both an exhibitor and a panelist. She’s ready to spill the tea on her journey – diving into her love for nerd culture and how she broke into content creation and the adult film world. It’s a chance to hear her unique story firsthand.
More Than Just a Con: The Blerd Movement
Events like Blerdcon are riding a wave of cultural energy. Black nerd culture, once niche, is getting more spotlight, with icons openly embracing their “Blerd” status. Conventions provide vital community hubs, letting attendees connect with their “tribe” and celebrate shared passions – whether it’s anime, comics, gaming, or horror. Blerdcon CEO Hilton George even notes that the cosplay at the event is a powerful expression, linking love for characters to self-love as a Black person.
Ameena launching her own magazine fits right into this moment, too. We’re seeing a rise in creators building their own platforms, taking control of their narratives, and connecting directly with their fans – something especially powerful within communities often underrepresented in mainstream media.
Beyond the panels and guests, Blerdcon boasts 24-hour gaming, cosplay contests, and even the biggest convention food truck rally in the country!
Get Ready for Thrills!
Mark your calendars! Blerdcon 2025: THRILLA!! is going down March 7th to 9th, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. Heads up: local police often increase presence and manage traffic around the event, so plan accordingly if you’re driving!
