It's a special Black History Month bonus! Black Nerds Create co-founder Bayana Davis joins host Sabrina Cartan to discuss the Black Nerds Create collective, its mission to contribute to meaningful representation in media for Black folks specifically and marginalized people generally, and how they're accomplishing this with Black Magical History Month, a program celebrating Black magical stories, characters, and fans.
Also: Bayana and Sabrina geek out on some Hobbit talk, crush on Legolas, and reflect on Tolkien Black Folks, a Lord of the Rings-inspired Black Nerds Create podcast.
