TKM Cosplay
TKM Cosplay is mother/daughters cosplay team.
Kari started cosplaying with New World Comics Superhero School in 2013. Her love of comics and Star Wars transformed into a love of charity events and building her own cosplays. She’s the Oklahoma City team lead for Real Okie Superheroes and is a member of the 501st and JediOKC.
Taloa has been assisting with foam work since she was 7 and started sewing at 11. She makes cosplays for herself as well as for her mom, younger sister and friends. She does Superhero School for New World Comics and is a seasoned charity cosplayer and member of Real Okie Superheroes and JediOKC.
MJ is the youngest in TKM Cosplay. She is always excited to help build and suit up any time she can.
The majority of TKM Cosplay’s costumes, props, and accessories are handcrafted by the team’s talented members.

Costuming and Cosplay for Body Positivity

But how do you get past that perception and into your new self-concept as a cosplayer? Let's talk about body positivity and why it matters for creativity and joy in cosplay.
