Did I mention that I was interviewed by this awesome reporter, Jamal Jordan (@lostblackboy), from NBC about DragonCon? He watched me transform from regular old me to my Afro Storm cosplay and shadowed me to my Last Airbender/ Legend of Korra panel and then to the World of Wakanda shoot organized by @drlawsphotolab…he also came to the @blackgirlnerds meetup where I won the costume contest! I can now say I'm am award winning cosplayer…LOL! Thank you @dcblackgeeks for making this possible! #DragonCon2017 #DragonCon #storm #cosplaying #cosplay #Ororo #NBC #plusSizeCosplay #BigBeautifulCosplay #blackcosplay #blackjoy #curvycosplay #blackgeeksdc

Had a pretty rough summer and didn't hit my fitness goals, so I was reluctant to cosplay at all this year. However, there's something about just putting on this costume and armor that makes you forget all about that. For a few hours, you are a warrior. On that day, you are #wonderwoman.
