Building a Vibrant LEGO Community
I'm Wesley Royer, the proud founder of BLACKLUG—a community-driven platform that celebrates creativity through LEGO building. As a passionate LEGO enthusiast, I specialize in creating unique MOCs (My Own Creations) and building official sets. My mission extends beyond the bricks; BLACKLUG is about bringing people together and making a positive impact on the LEGO community. Each piece I share and every project I undertake aims to inspire others to explore their creativity.
Inclusively Exclusive
At BLACKLUG, I'm dedicated to raising the visibility of Black LEGO builders across the UK and Europe. This platform showcases their unique talents and fosters representation within the LEGO community. My goal is to create an open and welcoming space for builders from all backgrounds to connect, share, and grow together. BLACKLUG is more than just a platform—it's a community built on diversity, inclusivity, and the belief that everyone should have a place to express their creativity.
My Journey into the LEGO Community
Discovering a Passion
From a young age, I have been captivated by LEGO. Three years ago, my journey began in earnest when I started attending shows as a fan. I soon transitioned to showcasing my own designs and sharing the work of other talented builders on a global stage. LEGO has become more than a hobby; it’s a pathway to connect, inspire, and create something meaningful.
Embraced by the Community
The LEGO community has welcomed me with open arms, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support. However, it’s hard to overlook that Black and minority builders are often underrepresented, especially in the UK and Europe. Despite this, the warmth of this community fuels my commitment to help bridge this gap.
Building Bridges for Representation
At events, I often find that Black and minority attendees gravitate toward me, identifying with my presence. For many, it serves as a reminder that they belong in the LEGO world too. I am dedicated to amplifying this connection—raising awareness, promoting diversity, and ensuring everyone knows they have a place here. Through BLACKLUG, I’m committed to making the LEGO community a home for all, regardless of background.
