Jamie Broadnax (born April 24, 1980) is an American film critic, podcaster, and writer, known for founding[2] and being editor-in-chief and CEO of the Black Girl Nerds community.[3]

Biography

[edit]

Broadnax, who has a master's degree in Film and Marketing,[4] started her career in film by working on several film shoots in various positions. Broadnax became a film critic,[5] is a member of the Critics Choice Association,[6] and, as a freelancer, has written about films for numerous publications, including HuffPost,[7] the New York Post,[8] Variety,[9] and Vulture.[10]

In 2014, Broadnax was accredited by MSNBC's TheGrio 100.[11] She has been described as "one of the biggest up-and-coming names in black-nerd pop culture" (by The Root's Jason Johnson[3]) and as "one of the most important makers of 2016" (by Paste's Shannon M. Houston[4]). In an October 2015 guest appearance on Melissa Harris-Perry, Broadnax talked about diversity in comics at New York Comic Con.[12] She has also co-hosted the Misty Knight's Uninformed Afro podcast about black superheroines,[13] and in April 2017, she co-launched the #NoConfederate hashtag campaign in response to HBO's plan to produce a series – Confederate – with the premise "What if the Confederacy never lost?".[14][15]

Broadnax has hosted panel discussions on other multimedia, including the panel at the A Wrinkle in Time (2018) premiere at the El Capitan Theatre and the Sorry to Bother You panel at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.[16]

Mid 2018, after co-founding "Universal FanCon"[17] and running a successful Kickstarter campaign for the convention,[18] Broadnax was caught up in the controversy surrounding the convention being cancelled[19] and she then released a public statement,[20] stepping back temporarily from a leadership role to regroup.

Black Girl Nerds

[edit]

Black Girl Nerds initially started as a Blogspot journal,[21] where Broadnax wrote about various topics, including her own online dating experiences.[22] In 2013, Black Weblog Awards awarded Black Girl Nerds "Best Podcast".[23] The community gradually became more mainstream, in particular after a shout-out by Shonda Rhimes in the September 2014 issue of Marie Claire.[16] In October 2015, HuffPost named Black Girl Nerds one of the leading Black Podcasts.[24] Late 2017, its website had over 200,000 monthly visitors.[21]
