249. Yaya Han and Jinx on cosplay and Asian representation

In this episode, I chat with two incredible women: Yaya Han and Jinx Cosplay. I am in awe of their skills in sewing and crafting, but even more impressed with their compassion and advocacy.

Yaya and Jinx were generous to share their experiences with discrimination and racism. We discuss the issues surrounding anti-Asian hate crimes and how including AAPI history in our education system can be a solution. I am so grateful to both Yaya and Jinx for speaking out for the Asian American community.

Please note the blog and podcast are different! This week’s podcast is a wrap-up session with Oscar Agramonte, where we discuss all things SDCC and our experiences on the panel and at the con. Tune in! I just got back from the whirlwind that is San Diego Comic-Con.

114. I’m headed to San Diego Comic Con

Today, on the show I talk about an exciting event that is coming up next week, San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC). SDCC is the mecca of all comic con! I was so excited when they chose my panel (Cosplayers, Ready your Swords!) that I pitched to them to be part of the 50th anniversary of SDCC. Make sure you check out the schedule for my panel. We’ll be doing some meet and greets, autographs and more. Or just stop in a say hello!
