Creating Space For POC’s In Leather Communities

Creating Space for POCs in the Leather Community w/ Domion of ONYX | FREAK’N SEE Podcast In this episode, we sit down with Domion of ONYX — one of the most powerful brotherhoods for Black and brown men in the leather and kink community. We’re diving deep into the roots, the history, and the radical need for spaces created by us and for us. From the origins of ONYX to the evolution of Blackout, we explore representation, unity, erotic liberation, and what it means to build community in a world that wasn’t designed with us in mind. This conversation goes beyond leather — it’s about identity, healing, connection, and reclaiming our place in kink culture without apology. 🖤 Topics we get into: • The history and purpose of ONYX • Brotherhood and leadership as a Black man in leather • The divide in queer/kink spaces — and how we bridge it • Blackout as a sacred, sexy, affirming space • Mentorship, legacy & visibility for the next generation • What “Black unity through leather” truly means If you’ve ever been curious about ONYX, Blackout, or what it looks like to build community rooted in kink, culture, and connection… this episode is for you.
