OYK (she/her) is a sapphic queer, neurospicy, “pro-heaux,” submissive, masochistic little Leather girl who has been unapologetically painting alt-LS communities pink since 2016. Although Philly Black Munch will forever be "home" her dedication to service has reached far and wide, with volunteer contributions to events like CTX Darkside, MsC Worldwide, Sex Down South, Service Oriented Conference, and SELF. In 2020, under the loving guidance of her Ma’am, Lady D, she co-organized PEP & The Sanctuary’s Virtual Family Reunion, which celebrated connection during uncertain times.

Currently, OYK serves as the Chair of Leather girls of Color (LgOC) and is a member of the patched Club’s inaugural Class, “The Foundation.” As a “Big Sib” she mentors LgOC’s newest members, further fostering the organization’s core values of education, service, support, and sisterhood.

With a deeply-rooted passion for mental health, disability advocacy and healthcare equity, OYK is dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices. Her community work is a love letter to little Black and Brown girls like herself, proving there is power in vulnerability and imperfection.

Who’s In Charge Around Here?

Caregiver/little relationships with a side of Dominance/submission (D/s) blend nurture and authority, but they’re not all snack packs and snuggles all the time. These dynamics are both complex and rewarding.

In this class, we’ll explore the layers of these unique relationships, diving into where caregiving and power exchange intertwine—and sometimes collide. Participants will gain practical tools for self-regulation, creating meaningful rituals, fostering open communication, and navigating conflict like the grown-ups we pretend to be.

Whether you consider yourself new to this or true to this, this session will offer relatable stories, fresh insights, and actionable strategies to strengthen your connection and keep the magic alive. Because no matter who’s “in charge,” the best relationships are built on love, intention, and ongoing commitment
— and maybe a few glittery stickers.
