Last year, I attended the first annual Wakandacon. What is Wakandacon? It’s an Afro-futuristic celebration where you can be a nerd about anything. Cosplay as your favorite character, pop culture, gaming, tech, womanhood, politics, or your own beautiful Blackness. While the event is targeted towards establishing a positive and supportive space for black people, Wakandacon is inclusive and all are welcome to join in on the celebrate together. As a vendor, it was an AWESOME experience. It was my first time visiting Chicago and I loved every bit of my visit. I had so much fun that I am going to attend the event again this year. My cosplay character was Wakandavivalist.
Here is a video of my experience. Enjoy!!!
