This is the exact reason i do what i do. I met this precious little Shuri yesterday and i almost cried. Its her first cosplay. I want her and other kids like her to know that "yes, black people do that too". Representation matters and im so glad i had the opportunity to show others that black cosplayers can build giant characters just as good anyone else. You can be a superhero too, dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise #RepresentationMatters #blacklivesmatter #blackcosplayers #WeDoThatToo____________________________________________________ Join us on Patreon for Tutorials, Exclusives and goodies. ____________________________________________________ #Ebonywarriorstudios #foamcraft #foamsmith #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplaylover #professionalcosplayers #armorbuilder #tbt
