Dominance and submission are core components of many kink and BDSM dynamics. At their heart, these roles are about power: how it’s exchanged, embodied, and explored. In this episode, we break down myths about power, share lessons from professional domme work, and explore how power play can be both liberating and deeply affirming, and can be experienced through community.

What’s Inside:
-What dominance and submission really mean
-Lessons from professional domme work and centering Black pleasure
-Expanding intimacy roles beyond stereotypes and gender norms
-Exploring the divine feminine as an embodied practice
-Stripper energy as a communal practice of embodying your power
