🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Mahito Thee Cosplayer is best known for their jaw-dropping horror looks and viral cosplay content - but behind the masks is a story just as powerful.

Mahito joins John to share their journey as a queer, Black, Nigerian creative navigating identity across continents. From growing up between cultures, to living in the US during the Trump era, to arriving in the UK and unpacking what it means to be “British”; Mahito speaks candidly about displacement, poverty, survival, and resilience.

They talk about finding themselves through queerness, navigating race and gender in an often hostile world, and learning how to carve out joy in the shadows.

It’s vulnerable, global, and deeply human - a reminder that behind every strong voice is a story that took strength to tell.
