What an amazing event! It brought so many Zamazing People together for some fun and advocacy. Thank you for inviting me to speak and participate DCC! The Woman King had a blast! 🤎💙 @womankingmovie 👑🤎💙 #Repost @disabilitycomiccon with @use.repost ・・・ Thank you to our incredible team of cosplayers, photographers, and panelists who helped make DCC possible. They’re an incredible group who came together for the mission of creating an event dedicated for people with visible and invisible disabilities. Their dedication, volunteerism, compassion, and expertise in the cosplay community truly made this one for the books.

Yesterday I did a thing. I attended a Disability Comic Con and had an amazing time! I met so many wonderful people, had my picture taken with a few (I went alone), and even met a very sweet little ladybug named Piper in a wheelchair. The vibes were infectious and the community was spreading love and awareness. The Yellow Power Ranger was there, as her her has autism. They had a good lineup of panelists, really cool artists, a cosplay contest, and a 360 Photo Booth. The few photos I’m posting are with a cosplay group leader dressed as Loki, the Best in Show cosplay contest winner as Blade, and this panelist who is dressed as The Woman King who was a beautiful gem to talk to. I did unexpectedly win an award, which I have never done for cosplay, but I am very proud for it. I had lots of fun and look forward to going again next year and watching it grow. Great job to the coordinator team who put this together, I know from experience it’s a lot of work, and especially in your first year…a lot of stress. Thank you to the judges who made me feel welcomed. #mad4plaiddesigns #harleyquinn #disabilitycomiccon
Yesterday was an awesome day that I will always remember. Two years ago I started cosplaying as a hobby and attended my first con with a person who uses a wheelchair. The following day I attended with my husband who has mobility issues. The experience was fun however I noticed that large cons are exhausting when you’re attending with someone with a disability and that’s how I got here. The support from cosplayers met at those cons believed in the vision and helped make this event possible. The cosplayers that I met along the way at getting this event together contributed to the cause. Yesterday over 300 people showed up from Nashville to Galveston to experience a con just for them. It gets no better than this! People from over 20 states have asked when is the Disability Comic Com coming to their area and the answer is in the near future. I have trademark DCC and I’m please to announce that it is here to stay 🙌🏾. #disability #disabilitycomiccon #inclusion #superheroes #comics #villains #comiccons #houston
Disability ComicCon was amazing. I got to hear from the @tlcyellowranger and many other speakers. It was amazing. Let's remember that not all superheroes wear capes. #disabilityawareness #disability #disabilitycomiccon #houston #Superstars #superhero #autismawareness #disabiltyadvocacy #mswinterqueen

Honored to be a featured speaker on disability issues and also thrilled to be cosplaying the role of Nanisca from @womankingmovie this weekend. 🗣️🎙️👸🏽 I’ve added to my costume, hopefully @gpbmadeit , @violadavis , and @gershaphillips will be proud! Because I love, love, love this movie! 👑🖤🤎 Excited to rep for my ostomy/colorectal cancer/disability/ischemic colitis fam! 💙💜❤️ Come by and say, hello if you’re in attendance! 👋🏾😁 #Repost @disabilitycomiccon with @use.repost ・・・ Meet panelist Kimberly Holiday-Coleman. Her topic at DCC is Finding Peace and Body Acceptance through Trauma and Disability After receiving a shocking Stage 2 Colorectal Cancer diagnosis on July 24, 2015, Kimberly Holiday-Coleman, her hubby of 24 years, and their children realized life as they once knew it, would change, but had no idea how immeasurable that change would be. Since her diagnosis, cancer treatments, and a lifesaving ostomy placement surgery eight years ago, Kimberly has embraced her second chance at life. Realizing life was precious, she made her lifelong dream of becoming a published author a reality. Kimberly then went on to become an inspirational speaker with a focus on Colorectal Cancer and Ostomy Awareness. This work led to her becoming a Fight Colorectal Cancer Ambassador, model in Melbourne Fashion Week, International Burlesque performer, and Community Advocacy Award Recipient. Kimberly also reconnected with her love of international travel, modeling, and roller/ice skating. She was then featured in the Dove #showus online project on Instagram which highlighted her body acceptance- ostomy pics from an Australian Book Project. Today, Kimberly offers a thoughtful perspective on self-acceptance, family, building community, her beloved stoma-Toodles, and finding joy/peace in the midst of life through trauma, cancer treatment/survivorship, disability, and life with an ostomy. #disability #disabilitycomiccon #womanking #cancerawareness #cancersurvivor #ostomy #stoma #kimberlyhcoleman

Meet disability self-advocate Carlos Rico Carlos Rico is a local artist specializing in anime and comic art. He recently got into cosplay during the pandemic lockdown. The first anime Rico ever saw was “Saint Seiya”. He spent every childhood summer in Mexico which was his only exposure to anime at the time as the US did not have many options. Rico is battling Rheumatoid arthritis and possibly lupus but is awaiting confirmation. Rico also struggles with depression, however he hasn’t let his bad days stop him from accomplishing many things. #RheumatoidArthritis #disability #disabilityawareness #invisibleillness #anime #comiccon #disabilitycomiccon #airbrushartist #SaintSeiya
Story time 📖 When I made this SC it was a couple of weeks after finishing my dissertation. At the time I didn’t know exactly what to do next. I’ve been working for myself in the aging and disability sector for about five years at the time and things were running so smoothly that I had a lot of extra time. I was also about to turn 40 and wanted to do something that I really enjoyed and that was playing in costumes, makeup and wigs. I decided that I wasn’t too old to start cosplaying and that’s how I got here. Now a couple of years later I have found cosplay to be my therapy and the community to be my friends. And in this moment I cannot believe that I’m mixing business with pleasure by hosting the first ever Disability Comic Con. It has been an experience and I now understand the ticket sales. I’m less than 25 days away and nervous asf but happy that this event has received so much love and support from the community, businesses, and cosplayers. It is through this life event that I want you to know that you’re never too old, you will always have people who will support you when your intentions and heart is in the right place, and there is definitely a business in your talent and skill set. “If you build it, they will come.” www.disabilitycomiccon.com #dcc #disability #cosplay #convention #marvel #dcuniverse #anime #blackcosplay #disabilitycomiccon #disabilityawareness #houston #comics
