Today, we’re joined by the incredibly talented Judy Stephens, producer, co-creator of the Women of Marvel podcast, and author of Cosplay the Marvel Way. From her experience navigating cosplay culture to advocating for diverse voices at Marvel, Judy shares how dressing up as superheroes can help you uncover your authentic self.

Plus Judy spills the tea on red and green flags you can spot based on someone’s cosplay choices.
