This book was written to be a guide for people new to the BDSM/kink lifestyle. You may find it to be an educational resource that will give an authentic look into our kink world as people of color. The people listed in this book are some of the best at what they do in the community. These individuals are independent trail blazers in the lifestyle. I probed the interviewees for their nuggets of wisdom that will help those new to the BDSM life find their way quicker and safer. Each person was asked to share some tips, tricks and tools on navigating through this wonderful lifestyle.
