Just like #BlackFaeDay, all you have to do to participate is use the hashtag when sharing your work – the hashtag being #BIPOCvampday. This work isn’t limited to costumes. This includes artwork, stories, games, pretty much any and all forms of media to celebrate vampiric BIPOC. Participants can embrace existing vampires or come up with their own original creations. Event and art by: BlackBettieCosplay As BlackBettieCosplay says in their post, vampires in current media are lacking diversity. Of course, you can point to a couple of examples (see: the image of the only and only Aaliyah as the vampire queen Akasha), but that’s just it: there are only a couple in comparison to white vampires throughout pop culture. There is still plenty of room for more melanated creatures of the night, and there is never anything wrong with asking for more.
