Hi folks! It’s been a long time since I blogged, but I wanted to share a few thoughts with you.  Over the past weekend I attended Otakon 2014 in Baltimore, MD which is one of my home cons.  I’ve been attending for eight years now, and each year I go gets better and better in terms of cosplay.  All troubles with the lines aside, I found myself impressed not only by cosplayers, but by attendees recognizing ALL types of cosplayers.  In February, I wrote an article on the acceptance of black cosplayers (link here) in the eyes of photographers and others.  This piece serves as a follow up and expansion of sorts, as well as a personal update on my journey as a cosplayer of color.
