Presenter Bio:

EtoileDC (she/they) has been practicing kink since 2000 and in and out of the public scene for about that long. She is queer in every way you can think of. They are a masochist who enjoys playing with the edges of sadism and silliness, and they are owned Property with a strong service orientation. Leather is an integral part of her identity, and she also identifies as deaf and neurodivergent. In addition to serving as the director of the Gateway program for Black Rose in Washington DC, they have won several awards as a pony handler, and teach history of sexuality at the university level. Outside of kink, she loves to talk about history and what it's like to never know all the answers.
