Lee joins the First Lady of the Louisville Leather community, Ms Constance, in a discussion of leather title contests, community building, and earning one’s place. She shares her journey from radical lesbian separatism to building a world that would meet her needs – one munch and one play partner at a time. Journeying beyond stigma and fear through giving back, she shares her heart and tribe, while offering tools to help long-term life success.
