Our Speakers:

Lady Ava - Kink Therapist, Dominatrix and Sex Educator.

Why the Adult Industry is Everyone and Noone's Business. 

I'll be speaking about what my work as a Dominatrix is and isn't, how patriarchy is preventing the safety of women, how my work has helped men and women recover from trauma and make peace with their true selves, and how the legal system is failing an entire industry at every turn. Adult consensual activity is not going away. It is the collective responsibility of myself and others in this forward thinking industry to break down barriers, challenge government decision makers and keep each other safe.
