It's been nearly 8 years since Samantha aka LiliAvacyn has been on the podcast. A lot has changed since their first episode, and now they're back for a second one!
Samantha talks about this year being their 20 year convention anniversary. We talk about how conventions have changed over time, from experiences, to guests, panels, and overall fun.
One of the topics that Samantha wanted to talk about was cosplay and their adjustments to cosplay and conventions with a disability. You'll hear how Samantha has adapted cosplays to include their wheelchair, wheelchairs and the convention spaces, and more.
Not only is Samantha speaking up in the cosplay and convention space when it comes to accessibility, we also talk about it with one of their newer fandoms - K-Pop. Samantha talks about getting into K-Pop, their favorite group, Ateez, and experiences with two different concert venues and the steps taken for accessibility.
I am glad that Samantha was able to come back and share their stories with me, and by extension, with all of you.
