About ONYX Pearls Southern Leather

ONYX Pearls Southern Leather (OPSL) is an organization for women of color who are practitioners of the Leather/BDSM/Kink/Fetish lifestyle. We are an inclusionary non-profit social & service group whose goal is to educate, develop friendships, foster sisterhood and provide support for all women and women-identified people of color. We address vital issues and create safe & empowering spaces within our community.

MISSION

The mission of ONYX Pearls Southern Leather is to EMPOWER, EDUCATE, SUSTAIN and SUPPORT one another through unity and acceptance within the Leather/BDSM/Kink/Fetish community.
As an official chapter of ONYX Pearls National, we are proud to walk hand-in-hand with our ONYX Pearls sister chapters, and with our brotherhood — (Men of) ONYX — for the greater good of our ONYX family and the Leather community at large.

The symbolic meaning of the phoenix is about renewal, rebirth and regeneration. It is a testament to overcoming and rising to the challenge to become empowered and successful.
