This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Shaunie of ShauCat Cosplay to discuss all things cosplaying while black! We dive into her history being a fan of all things geek, growing up and getting access to manga and anime, RPG games, conventions, and so much more. We even take a dip in some heavier topics on growth and our parents.
