resolution presenters
We are grateful to all of our presenters for offering their expertise, education, and time to Resolution. Our diverse group of presenters come from out of state, out of country, and from only an hour away, offering perspectives from multiple community groups and multiple areas of North America. We love featuring queer, BIPOC, trans, and varying age group presenters with educational experiences that center not their demographics, but their experience and subject matter expertise.
Aeolis Est
Aeolis Est has been quietly walking their Leather path for well over a decade, embracing the love of service and community long before ever realizing that their dedication to preserving and increasing knowledge and skill for those that come after had marked them as a person of Leather. While now they are mostly “retired,” Aeo spent many years traveling the country presenting for events big and small. They have always carried with them not only a passion for education and self actualization, but a dedication to the growth of the community they so love.

A first-generation indigenous Mexican (Zacateco) American and active Leather man who identifies as a slave, he serves the community by advocating for positive BIPOC and male submissive/slave spaces, participating on panels, presenting at conferences, peer-mentoring, and volunteering. CreamDream also serves as co-leader of Black Atlanta Munch and as Librarian/Curator for the Carter/Johnson Leather Library and Collections Atlanta Annex. He lives his life in a Master/slave dynamic with MsDDom, enjoys the camaraderie of leather and kinky folks, and travels often to participate in lifestyle events across the U.S.

They devote their life to their Master’s will and occasional wild whimsy by operating as his auxiliary prefrontal cortex, accountant, emotional support dog, and punching bag. Guan-Xuan spends much of their time, in non-kink interactions, facilitating a space where intergenerational trauma, racial and systemic trauma, and colonization are unpacked, and being a witness to the healing of queer and trans folx of the global majority (QTBIPOC).
Kris
Princess Asshole (she/they) and Kris (any pronouns) hail from Austin, Texas. They were immediately bonded by their love of heavy blood play and Leather. PA identifies as a switch, and she is honored to be Kris' property. Kris identifies as a Dom Top and Daddy to PA. Both came into the relationship as tops which made the power exchange dynamic super spicy, and they both love the dynamic they have created. They are the founders of Bat City Leather, a leather group inclusive to all, in Austin, Texas. Kris came up in the Leather bar scene nearly 20 years ago and brings a different perspective of community engagement and risk aware play. You'll see Kris and PA play a lot with blood and sharps but Kris also loves heavy impact (especially canes), pegging and fisting! PA is just your run-of-the-mill asshole trying to do weird stuff to people and have a lot of laughs in the process. She is a creative by trade and tends to bring that creativity to her own brand of sadism or really just dig her own hole under Kris' needles. She's also honored to have been Rocky Mountain Person of Leather from 2019-2021 and current Producer of the Heartland Person of Leather contest. They both have a passion for effective communication, neurodivergent inclusive education, and making space for the more taboo sides of kink. Kris highly values kindness while PA has a love of service, and together you get two people who want to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Master SwitchyButch & slave Bahari
A Queer Transmasculine Master with a heart for service, SwitchyButch (he/him) is privileged to receive the service and surrender of his devoted slave and Owned property, Bahari, and the tenacity and loyalty of his shieldmaiden of over 16 years, Itazura. He is delighted to serve as the Director of Family and Community Services for the Atlantic Leather Family Alliance and is proud to hold the title of Bluegrass Leather Bootblack 2016. Finding sacred in the profane, SwitchyButch serves as Ordeal Master to those beloved to him, acting as alchemist and mirror so that they may see their own unspeakable power and beauty in shattered moments of utter destruction. Both a sadomasochist and a tireless learner, he particularly delights using his psychology education for nefarious purposes (Skinner boxes, anyone?) SwitchyButch revels the filthier things in life; has a penchant for sharp shit; and spends an abundance of time relishing in the finer pleasures this world has to offer, particularly cigars with good bourbon, boot worship, indulgent coffee service, and well-executed high protocol. Bahari (he/him) is a Black Transmasculine Leather slave and Owned property of SwitchyButch. He is more than a little bit of a cigar slut, deeply passionate about the crafting and service of coffee, and equal parts devoted emotional support puppy and willing masochist to his Master’s sadism. Equal parts mischievous puppy and devoted student of the Universe, Bahari is as likely to be found deep in soul conversation with other growth-minded individuals as he is to be laughing delightedly at the results of his latest shenanigans. Bahari resides with his Master and his metamour in beautiful central Kentucky, where he lives his life with intentionality in surrender to his Master. Together they are sacred sex practitioners, Brothers to the members of their Leather family, and feed their soul by disappearing into the woods with their family to dive deep into energy work, bonding, and exploring beyond the edges of their comfort zone. Profoundly committed to authenticity and living their truth, their authority transfer is rooted in radical vulnerability, a mutual commitment to growth and to stripping away that which does not serve, and shared values. They are both dyed-in-the-wool activists and are deeply invested in the intentional cultivation of equity and justice.
