Oh!! I forgot to post these absolutely amazing pictures of our GOH Jules Porter in her Afro-futuristic outfit!! If you're ever a GOH at @convergencecon.bsky.social, you don't need to be professional! Wear what you want, and we encourage outfits like this! #CVG2025
Jules Porter, a Black woman with short hair, in a gold and black Afrofuturistic costume. She has gold rings around her neck and a giant gold triangle image on her chest. There's also a spiderweb sort of piece on her head, and goggles around her neck Jules Porter, a Black woman with short hair, in the same Afrofuturistic costume from the previous picture, with a lot of gold accents, but the goggles are on her eyes now. They're blue-green and the lenses seem faceted.

Creators (esp. film) have a checkered past in portraying marginalized groups accurately, never mind respectfully. But is it better than no representation at all? Come hear Jules Porter talk about it at 3:30 in Greenway FGH (2nd floor) #CVG2025 convergence2025.sched.com/event/22Cte/...
