Lore Olympus #BLACKCOSPLAY Spotlight

Cosplay
Written By Cara
 

If you peruse the hashtags #blackcosplay #blackcosplayer and #blackcosplayerhere, you will find an unending stream of talent across all fandoms. In our own home of Lore Olympus, we have many cosplayers sharing their talents using these hashtags.

Below, we’ve worked with several cosplayers to highlight the Black Lives Matter movement. These cosplayers have shared the organizations that mean the most to them as well as ways you can support them individually.

Uplift these creatives by completing their call to action for the Black Lives Matter movement and supporting their Ko-fi/Cash accounts, so they can continue bringing their amazing creations to life for the fandom.

Black lives matter today and every day.

 
 

Shanay @sayonay_cosplay

 
 
 
 

Sayonay has truly done it all. She’s cosplayed Ares, Rhea, Hecate, Hestia, Nyx, Styx, Aphrodite, Megaera, Minthe, Hera, and of course, Persephone. 

To support this multi-faceted artist, drop her some coins on the CASH app at $sayonay

If you know what’s good for you, you’ll follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

Diana @Diana.the.Great

 
 
 

@dianathegreat1 is as the name suggests - Great! She’s cosplayed Hades and Ampelus. Additionally, Diana serves as a moderator of both the official Lore Olympus Discord and Facebook groups. 

Support her on ko-fi.com/dianathegreat or paypal.me/dianathegreat and don’t forget to follow all her socials at linktr.ee/diana.the.great

Rumor is she may be working on a top secret new LO cosplay. She always treats followers to a peek behind the scenes on her process creating a look, so keep your eyes peeled.
