Kero (pronoun agnostic) is an extroverted, creative, nonmonogamous, genderfluid pervert, from the Asian diaspora, who has been active in this scene long enough that some of their early experiences involved local BBSs.

They enjoy sharing their love of learning as well as their extensive knowledge of consent, risk, anatomy, power, neuro/physical/gender/racial diversity (and the ways it can be used to change your understanding of kink).  They’ve presented at Dark Odyssey’s Fusion and Camp Crucible. They are committed to naming and combating white supremacy, creating community, and enjoys using their knowledge for very specific kinds of evil.  Kero is also an activist, a trained massage therapist and a licensed social worker.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a neurodivergent dominant, we have got just the thing! Come join us for an informative panel. We will have panelists on the left side of the slash talk about their lived experiences. Some partners may be available to provide insight into navigating a dynamic when one or both partners are neurodivergent..
 

What type of communicator are you?  Who are you trying to negotiate with?  Do you often feel like you’re misunderstood?  Neurodivergent folx often feel misunderstood, or as if they are talking at cross purposes.  Come learn new ways to negotiate the play you’re looking for.

Welcome to a space where we will examine intersectionality, and the ways in which our collective unconscious and conscious biases oppress others.  This is a discussion where participation is encouraged, and where you are encouraged to take space as needed.

(Create deeper understanding of how we all contribute to the oppression of others and the unique ways the intersections of our identities can be invisible and therefore lead to further harm.)
