South Plains Leatherfest has, in most recent years, been described as a wonderful Leather family gathering. Leatherfolk from around the country and even around the world all come together to fellowship, play, be entertained, and enjoy each other's company. But, as in the case with most families, there can be internal issues that sometimes are overlooked, or that cannot be overlooked. Recent events politically and otherwise have put a strain on our familial relationships. To this end, Sir Guy from the Dark Lair, along with Master Lola Smiles and Goddess Indigo have put together this conversation, “The Talk - The Conversation BIPOC Folk Need to Have“ to have an open conversation about the things that unite us, and the things that divide us, and to iron out our differences in the sincere hope that we can be united in our fight to bring about safe spaces and welcoming arms to all in the BIPOC Communities. As Malcolm X said, "You can't separate peace from freedom. No one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." This conversation is about helping us acquire what Leather is all about: our peace and our freedom, so this is exclusively for those who openly identify as being BIPOC. BIPOC Family, please join the discussion.
Thursday 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM - Longhorn 3,4
Many in our community carry anxiety, stress and fear, escalated post November 5th. This community discussion, led by prominent leaders in the Leather, BDSM and M/s Communities, offers a place of solidarity where we can share our thoughts, fears and as a community, what actions we might take to support and protect each other. We've been here before, we know what to do and we can do it again. Please join us for this SPLF Opening Summit and add your voice as we come together and speak about how we will use our community force to not only survive, but thrive in the coming challenging years.
