Alongside Black History Month, a community of cosplayers have created the hashtag #29DaysOfBlackCosplay to highlight cosplay diversity.
Chaka Cumberbatch, a cosplayer and advocate for diversity in the geek community, told IGN, "This is about lifting each other up instead of waiting for anyone to do it for us. It's about giving light to black cosplayers of all ages, shapes, skill levels and sizes. It's about making this community a little more welcoming than it was when we came into it. And most of all - it's about positivity. Many (if not all) of the cosplayers taking part in the campaign this month have had negative experiences while cosplaying due to our race. This is us taking those lemons and making about a gallon of lemonade."
