U is for Unity

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the A to Z of Sex.  I’m Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and I am your host.  We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time.  Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don’t have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones.  Today the letter is U and U is for Untold Stories.

History is important.  From the past we learn.  We are learn best from stories and yet so  many of them remain untold.  Joining me todayt is Mistress Nia.  She is a service-oriented Dominant and teacher whose style of  leadership is “First Among Equals.”  She has been active in BDSM since 2005 and female – led household offers opportunities for discipline, education and service.  Nia identifies as a Leatherwoman and is a member of the Sterling Shadow Continuum (SSC) and Mast Dayton and serves a sthe chaplain of La Meute de Rougaroux (The Rougarou Pack).  She is also a budding presenter in her local community, having recently given her first presentation for SSC.  Mistress Nia resides in Southwest Ohio.

We started by talking about the Black lesbian history that has been erased.  During the initial AIDS crisis, many of the sick and dying men were cared for by lesbians.  When their families wouldn’t come near them.  When they were afraid to touch them.  These women cleaned their homes, took them to doctor’s appointments, picked up medication, sat with them and often buried them. 

Mistress Nia spoke about the challenges facing these leather women and other women now.  She talked about breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and that the men that they cared for are dead so there is no one to care for them. 

We spoke about the lack of education and awareness.  The fact that this epidemic of STI’s is not over and that too many younger people are taking risks without knowing all the facts.

We talked about how simple it would be to get a breast cancer mobile out to the Pride marches and events along side the van that tested for HIV and AIDS. 

We pledged to raise awareness and to educate.  To provide outreach
