00:00There you go, sir.
00:24Thank you, I appreciate it.
00:48There you go.
01:07New York Comic Con is the best event of the year.
01:09It's the thing I look forward to all year long.
01:11Everyone here all likes the same things and everybody's fun.
01:15The best cosplay location, comic book add-ons or video game add-ons,
01:20best place to find information and meet the artists, the writers,
01:24people that work in the industry.
01:26I chose to express myself this way.
01:29I grew up, my mom always dresses up for Halloween,
01:33so I already grew up with a love for dressing up in costumes.
01:37And as I got older, I felt not shunned by society,
01:42but I definitely felt different because of my interests
01:46and because of being a person of color.
01:50I grew up in the South, so I also felt different because of that.
01:53And cosplay was a way for me to escape from all of that
01:57and dress as a different character that I related to
02:01that helped me express myself more
02:04and it helped me find my confidence as I grew into an adult.
