Slave Sunflower has been a proud member of the Leather community for nine years—three spent quietly observing from the shadows and six spent embracing public service, education, and visibility. She identifies as a slave, masochist, middle, babygirl, puppy, demo bottom, and now, presenter. Her greatest joy lies in service—whether through the Leather world or the vanilla one—always striving to “make someone’s day and life easier.”

slave sunflower has presented, moderated, and volunteered for numerous national conferences, including FLAME, Thrive, SELF, Beyond Leather, MsC Worldwide, and the North East Conference of Kink. She currently serves on multiple committees with the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF), sits on the Board of Directors for N.E.C.K., acts as Director of Diversity for Beyond Leather Conference, and serves as Volunteer Assistant for Southeast LeatherFest (SELF).

Though small in stature and soft-spoken, her passion for the Leather community and her commitment to service speak volumes. Ever evolving, ever learning, slave sunflower continues to embody humility, heart, and dedication in all she does.
