00:00There's been a long-running myth in mainstream media that geek culture like anime, gaming,
00:04and cosplay is the space where black and brown fans struggle to find their tribe. But a group
00:08of black YouTube creators just blew that myth completely apart. Over the weekend, the 8th
00:12annual DreamCon brought over 40,000 enthusiasts to the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.
00:17Founded by the online entertainment collective RDC World, the convention has evolved into what
00:21fans on threads are literally calling an HBCU for blurs. A safe, highly creative space celebrating
00:26black excellence in gaming and pop culture. Legendary voice actress Kreese Sommer could
00:30barely contain her excitement on stage saying, being here and seeing all these black and
00:35brown people just enjoying comics and everything else is just amazing. We see this as a positive
00:39sign RDC World has created more than just a convention. It's a masterclass on how creators
00:44can successfully turn an online community into a multi-million dollar physical ecosystem.
