1. What made you decide to cosplay?
I started cosplaying for fun! I would create looks and share with family but one day, I decided to post it on my Instagram.

2. What do you do for your day job or hobbies?
Cosplaying is currently my hobby. I have so much fun creating looks, building the props and becoming the character. I tend to spend a while in them. “Acting them out”

3. Which of your cosplays have been the most challenging and/or the most rewarding and why? 
My most challenging cosplay was my first cosplay I created by hand. I handcrafted every jewel and piece. I think it was because I had no idea what I was doing! A lot of trail and error. I was so happy I took my time because it made the pictures come out amazing.

4. What is the best advice you would give to other cosplayers of color specifically?
Do be afraid to cosplay a character you love! Step out of the “canon” box and jump into your own creativity.

5. What one thing could the cosplay community do better when dealing with one another?
Uplifting each other! Sometimes we get too caught up into the number of followers a person has instead of their content. Make friends if you like their content. Also be positive and honest. And only provide feedback or criticisms if they ask for it.
