#StopAsianHate isn’t just a trend. Anti-Asian hate crimes have always been happening, and has gained mainstream media attention in the past few months, especially with the shooting in Atlanta last week. In this podcast episode, Carmilla Jo speaks up about her experience of growing up and seeing herself represented by the iconic Cartoon Network hero Samurai Jack, and how that has influenced her in cosplay.
CARMILLA JO is a Bay Area-based cosplayer and model. Growing up with a love for fantasy and animation, she has evolved as not just a model and cosplayer, but also as a costume designer and creative producer. By taking creative control in her works, she has yielded numerous publications and magazine cover features.
As an award-winning cosplayer, her costuming takes inspiration from anime, manga, video games, history, corsetry, and nostalgic cartoons. She plans to continue improving in the craft of cosplay and costuming in the years to come, in addition to collaborating with fellow ambitious creatives for more elaborate and other-worldly photoshoots and projects.
