How has cosplay changed? And how has it helped?
In this episode, Sara and David talk with cosplayer Mel (@baroqueblood on Instagram and Twitter ) about how the cosplay community has changed and grown over the almost decade they have been a part of it. We discuss how they have used their hobby to market themselves in the workplace, and how it has helped with some really big realizations. Join us as we ponder the meaning of art, how to resolve conflict, and how a warm community can help us become our more authentic selves.
Our second half of this season is going to be running from April to June, but in the meantime: Follow @withsaraanddavid on Instagram for more informational material, fun content, and updates! Click the link in our bio to explore our shoutouts, books we recommend, and people we look up to.
