I invited them on the episode and the conversation went in a direction I couldn't have predicted!\r\nMegan Gotch aka The Nerdy Girlie and Jamila Rowser co-founder of Geek Girl Brunch joined me to talk about what military brat-hood was like. Whether they were exposed to other cultures and how. How being an MB helped them create their websites and communities, and help them help themselves.\r\nSee more from Megan Gotch:\r\nThe Nerdy Girlie (Megan's blog about life, SDCC, and fandom), Female Geek Bloggers (a supportive community for female bloggers Megan started), Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.\r\nSee more from Jamila Rowser:\r\nGeek Girl Brunch (where women can hang out IRL), Girl Gone Geek (Jamila's nerdy site), Straight Outta Gotham (Jamila's tumblr blog displaying geekery found in hip hop lyrics), Lovers Brock (a more personal tumblr blog), Twitter, and Instagram.\r\nListen in and leave us a comment!\r\nFor more about the Lost Rewatch mentioned on the episode, click here!\r\nFor more about how to join International Women's Month, click here!\r\n--\r\nOn Common Room we don’t have ads.
