Hello BlerdNation Family!

I am Renae and I am excited to be a part of the BlerdNation Blog!

My background:

I grew up in the Midwest, attended college in the East, and am a recent transplant to the Mid-South. I have a B.A. degree in Anthropology and am a licensed attorney. I think anthropological approaches to the world can provideinto the experiences of others and ourselves.

My interests:

I enjoy Science-Fiction movies, TV shows, and books.I enjoy mystery and adventure books and movies as well. I am a bibliophile: I loved the Game of Thrones books; and I read James Rollins, Clive Cussler,Michael Crichton, and Preston & Child. I am also a big fan of martial arts movies. I travel and explore cultural activities as often as possible.

You can connect with me on Twitter at either: @RenaeMuses or @AnthroBlerd

My input to the Blog:

I will be writing articles on various topics including: Self-image, encouraging the next generation of Blerds, dating in the era of social media, media depictions of people of color, and embracing your uniqueness.
