slave joy
she/her
Hello, my name is slave joy, she/her pronouns please. I am a student of life on an open-minded journey of self-discovery and growth to be my best self. I am a strong open-hearted spiritual woman, have a few soul parts that are that of a soft feminine baby girl, but most of all what drives my life passion at the core of my very being is that i am a joyously loving slave. I have come to understand in my soul knowing that my slavery is an orientation, just like my pansexuality. It is simply who I am.
I seek to learn, grow, and be my best slave self while supporting those in our community the best I can. Since a young age, my service heart has been my purpose-filled grounding anchor. My life is a work of service to the earth and her children’s healing and my Master’s highest good.
