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.

Q (She/Her/Ma’am)

Integrating spirituality, self-awareness, 12-step recovery, and moon manifestation into BDSM and kink is Q’s passion. She is living and continuing to co-create a life for herself that is beyond her wildest dreams. It is her part to share her experience and gifts with her community and to exemplify her tenet “evolve and elevate.”

In 2012, Q began an 8-year education in BDSM and kink. Her educator provided her with a foundation rooted in personal responsibility, spirituality, relationship building, and respect for the process. She has experienced healing from childhood trauma and deep spiritual connections through engaging in BDSM. Additionally, she has uncovered that there is more healing to be had because of play.

Her purpose is to educate the kink community in self-awareness, introspection, and reflection, and how thoughts and actions impact those around us. Knowledge is no good if kept all to oneself.

Q’s profession is in clinical STI and sexual health training. In her spare time, she enjoys laughing uncontrollably as she administers CBT. She is an avid spanker/spankee, energy healer, career coach, passionate Pegger, and a Sadist in training. And as always, she looks forward to learning more about herself along the way.

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