Badly Licked Bear (she/her)

Badly Licked Bear is a 3rd gender, Indigiqueer transfemme and is or has been an arts administrator, community leader, writer, curator, student, artist, mutual aid worker, sex worker, and educator.  This leatherdyke storyteller’s heart’s desire is to spin dreams into reality as a freelance sexuality and kink educator, professional mean girl, polymorphously perverse power switch, and unhinged clown-foolery enthusiast.

Currently, she is an educator for Pelvic Sanctuary, a member of the sex worker collective Sunday Faire, and the Witch Queen of Wrestler4Wrestler. She also serves on the steering committees of the Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Art & Culture Coalition and the CIRCA Queer Histories Festival. 

Badly is a Founder of the Council of Indigenous Leather, the recipient of the 2024 Unabashed Forefister Award, and currently serves as Mx. Strap Sucker Los Angeles 2025.

Badly will be our keynote speaker and will also be moderating our mutual aid and community building panel.

LoveWitch (she/her)

Witchy, switchy, queer, and unapologetically kinky –  LoveWitch (she/her) is a Femdom ritualist shaped by intersectional feminism, community building, and the seductive power of BDSM. She is your big bully sister, demanding teacher, energy-hungry demon, and nurturing priestess. 

 Now in her second year on the board of FemdomStorm,  Lovewitch also serves as the fairy kink mother of The Creatrix Collective and the founder of Sex Church. She loves serving the community through intentional engagement and hosts Mistress Lovewitch’s Femdom Salon. 

 For her, power exchange is a sacred, transgressive dance—challenging norms, comforting the disturbed, and disturbing the comfortable. She relishes in exploring the deep esoteric roots of authority, submission, and queer magick. She is curious of the ways femdom leadership challenges more conventional modes of community building and seeks to explore ways that center phenomenological experiences beyond the binary.

LoveWitch finds joy in intensity, emotional depth, and nurturing dominance.  She creates growth through shadow—whether in sadistic scenes, kinky ritual, or process oriented community work.  

LoveWitch will be part of our mutual aid and community building panel.

She came to leather through the Lesbian Avengers, taught her first kink class at the New England Fetish Flea in 2003 and has been instigating, teaching kink skills (negotiation, group play, caning), and working to build queer leather community ever since.
