Mama’s Kinky Educator Leather Video Series

Hello everyone! As most of you know I have used the last three years to document my journey with HIV on Youtube (My HIV Journey). I love being an HIV/AIDS activist and now I am using my voice more and more to raise awareness of leather education. I just created the first of many videos that I am going to make discussing various topics. I hope that the videos will spark conversation and encourage each of us to consider what our role is within the community and what we are doing to improve our community. Each of us have to figure out what leather means to us. I want to hear what leather means to you and how you celebrate it. Are you a pup, a furry, a daddy or are you still unsure of exactly what you are. I like so many others want to create a safe space where people can explore this amazing community that we call the leather community. Take a moment to message me or respond to this and I will share your story in an upcoming video. In Leather- Mama’s Kinky Educator

My Love Affair with Meth
