I spend all my free time spreading the beauty of art to people of all ages, especially children. I spend my days making costumes to make people's beloved characters come to life and promote free craft events to the public. I want art to be accessible to everyone at no cost, and to fulfill a child their dream of interacting with their favorite role models, especially those who are ill and are limited by the walls of their hospital bed.
I am a Biology undergraduate and as a result, I work in the science and research community. But because I am entering such a professional setting, sometimes it is difficult to still be a cosplayer, because most people view them as "weird" or "crazy". So as a result, I created a fake name for my cosplay hobby in order to separate that part from myself. But I think people should take the time to talk to others and understand why people do certain actions or have certain beliefs before making judgements. That is why I support this campaign of knowing people and I want people to know both of my identities as well.
