O.Y.K.

OYK (she/her) is a sapphic queer, neurospicy, “pro-heaux,” submissive, masochistic little Leather girl who has been unapologetically painting alt-LS communities pink since 2016. Although Philly Black Munch will forever be "home" her dedication to service has reached far and wide, with volunteer contributions to events like CTX Darkside, MsC Worldwide, Sex Down South, Service Oriented Conference, and SELF. In 2020, under the loving guidance of her Ma’am, Lady D, she co-organized PEP & The Sanctuary’s Virtual Family Reunion, which celebrated connection during uncertain times.

Currently, OYK serves as the Chair of Leather girls of Color (LgOC) and is a member of the patched Club’s inaugural Class, “The Foundation.” As a “Big Sib” she mentors LgOC’s newest members, further fostering the organization’s core values of education, service, support, and sisterhood.

With a deeply-rooted passion for mental health, disability advocacy and healthcare equity, OYK is dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices. Her community work is a love letter to little Black and Brown girls like herself, proving there is power in vulnerability and imperfection.
