Thanks for submitting, @mdb1710 ! I put out for review in our Slack channel for any folks who identify as Blerds to provide feedback.

Hey there, after reviewing this definition with @tatianamac we have some suggestions!

• The sentence "“Since the term ‘nerd’ by itself can be vague, the term blerd can be possibly used to describe anyone who is black and smart.” should be replaced with "Blerd is a term for self-identification/community-identification, so it shouldn't be used to describe someone else without their consent, particularly from non-Black folks. -Black should be capitalized in the entire definition as it is being used to describe people, not a color. -Remove (of African descent) because it excludes people who do not identify with being directly from African descent.

Thank you @daphnecharles I will update my definition with your changes and send another pull request.

I added one linking note, but otherwise will await community feedback. Thanks for your patience and making the updates, @mdb1710 !
