Ramses ONYX

Since joining Onyx (Lone Star), my journey has shifted from thinking I was a leatherman and BDSM practitioner in isolation to growing within a larger purpose-driven organization focused on education, exploration and empowerment. I've gained confidence, clearer direction, stronger accountability, and access to people who are like-minded; yet, challenge me to think bigger and with more intention.

What's changed in my perspective. I'm more confident in my voice, confident in my body, more strategic in my actions, and more intentional about how I show up-both personally and as a member of Onyx. Onyx has helped me explore my kinks and fetishes and grow as a leatherman safely and openly in an organization that looks like and supports me. I am dedicated to ensuring we (POC) have a voice and a seat at the table. The larger mission, reminding me that success isn't just about my individual achievement/representation, but about how Onyx and I impact the collective community.
