In honour of Black History Month, cosplayers across social media platforms are participating in #28DaysOfBlackCosplay, including Instagram star Kiera Please.
The 21-year-old Virginia native has taken the Internet by storm with her cool costumes, and we're not just talking about the time she did Storm from X-Men. Whether she takes on anime or American cartoon characters, her ability to transform into any of the famous characters she chooses is truly awe-inspiring.
Kiera is participating in a hashtag challenge created by fellow cosplayer Chaka Cumberbatch that aims to break down racism in the cosplay community. The challenge is a celebration of multiracial talent and promotes equality and inclusion for everyone interested in cosplay, especially young people of color who may otherwise feel unwelcome. Check out her best cosplay looks so far below!

"Racial boundaries"? Since when? From everything I've seen of cosplay anyone and everyone is accepted, no matter their skin colour. It's fun that she's doing this, but why do we always have to bring up race?
That's not the case at all. Many Black people are discriminated against in cosplay. I've seen people be vicious about it! It should be an accepting community, but it is not always. I think most Black cosplayers have been told that they can't do it because of their skin color.
