Blavity was representing at DragonCon, and I was blessed to experience it as a first-timer. I was most looking forward to all the amazing cosplay by the black women and girls. In a society where we love to police black women’s bodies, to see creativity and body positivity in Atlanta was a joy.



Here are some looks that caught my eye:

1. You can’t go wrong with Misty Knight.
