From the cosplay floor to the classroom, Tyler has been doing it all, and today she’s bringing that same energy to the mic.We dive into everything from her HBCU roots and experience as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Tau Beta Sigma, to her cosplay journey post-Ebony Fire and her viral majorette-style anime dance workshop. We talk convention culture, Black cosplay representation, anime favorites, pop culture hot takes, and even throw her into some classic BGE games—including trivia, character recognition, and rapid-fire questions.If you love My Hero Academia, Sonic the Hedgehog, cosplay controversies, and everything Black and nerdy, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear how Tyler’s turning wigs, flipping critiques, and bringing that con-floor heat—one Pop Step accessory at a time.Follow, subscribe, and don’t forget to rep that Black Geek Energy wherever you go!Email your questions to
