The PROBLEM with Anime Conventions

My first real "Video Essay" that I've made, I hope you enjoy it!! I’m Lee but you can call me Leefy! I’m an overseas Kagai and cosplay idol passionate about accessibility in performance spaces and at anime conventions! I see the behind the scenes world of cosplay a LOT and you would be surprised at just how much needs to change. I’m working hard to make this space a more inclusive space for everyone.
