Black Cosplay Celebration
It’s Black History Month, There are some pretty interesting things popping off in the nerd community. One of my favorite highlights is, the 28 Days of Black Cosplay, which is celebration created by Chaka Cumberbatch-Tinsley five years ago. And since then, the number of participants have grown tremendously.

The 28 Days of Black Cosplay was created to support, nurture and create visibility for the Black Cosplay community which is often overlooked and discriminated against. Here at SDE, we’re all about the under dog, not only do we preach things, we try to some fire behind our words through action.
