ONLINE: The Future of Black Kink

Are you interested in learning about the future of Black kink and where we’re headed? This presentation is to help you learn the history of kink from a Black perspective and to see how the present will shape the future for Black kinky folks.

Learn about Black kink movements, Black kink changemakers, and Black kink organizations and events. We will talk about what’s been happening in the present and what the future holds for Black kinksters and how other cultures can learn from us.

PRESENTER:

Marla Renee Stewart, MA, CSE (she/her) is a 3x award-winning sexologist, author, and sexual strategist at Velvet Lips Sex Education. With over two decades in kink, Miss Marla proudly identifies as a sensual sadist and professional top, specializing in techniques such as impact play, breath play, dirty talk, and sensual genital torment. Her work centers on empowering erotic autonomy and dismantling sexual shame—especially for Black, queer, and kinky communities. As Co-Founder of the Sex Down South Conference, Marla co-created the largest BIPOC dungeon in the world, offering a transformative space for exploration and healing. She also trains therapists, counselors, and educators in understanding and supporting the unique needs of Black queer and kinky relationships with cultural competency and care. Through her workshops, writings, and fierce advocacy, Marla continues to lead the movement for sexual liberation with unflinching power and sensuality.
