kids take over wakanda in amazingly adorable black panther photo series
When director Ryan Coogler said he was making Black Panther for his 10 year old self, this is what he meant. There is a movement to help Black kids see themselves just as powerful, heroic and magical as they are, and now London-based photographer Asiko and child casting agency Looks Like Me UK are taking that mandate and running with it!
The two recently came together for a photo series featuring young Black children in the costumes of the film’s heroes, and it’s adorable! Black Panther actress Lupita Nyong’o recently shared the images on Facebook with a simple caption: “Our Future.”
Indeed!
Our Future. #BlackPanther
