The 4th Doctor and More from There She Goes Cosplay

I first started following this cosplayer on Instagram some while ago while looking for Black women in the Doctor Who cosplaying fandom. She was dressed up as the fourth Doctor. I’ve been following her for a little over two years now and I’ve even found some awesome cosplayers she looks up to. I really like seeing womenfolk, especially Black women, cosplaying characters regardless of gender or race apologetically: here’s one of them! -Carrie Black Nerd Problems: Please tell us a bit about yourself! How long have you been in the cosplay game? There She Goes Cosplay: I am The Doctor! No, let me stop playing. I’m just someone who likes to game, listen to music, role play, and sometimes draw. I have an obsession with Destiny at the moment, so when I am not cosplaying I am in front of the TV going at it with other guardians in The Crucible. Truly. Honestly. I have been cosplaying for almost three years now, and I want to continue with it for as long as I can. BNP: What initially drew you into cosplaying? What draws you to certain characters to dress up as versus others? TSGC: I found out about it back in high school, but I never had money to cosplay or go to cons back then. I forgot about it for a while, and then someone asked me to go to Supercon with them in…2013, but I didn’t want to go without a cosplay and they suggested Storm. Long story short, I didn’t get to go and then in 2014 I went to my first two cons and cosplayed the 4th Doctor. After that, I have cosplayed Levi Acker…
