2011 ONYX ROD 
Although he is a “newbie” to the Leather and BDSM communities, Rod was first introduced to the concept of BDSM play through Gay Male S/M Activists (GMSMA) back in 1992 at the New York City Gay Pride Festival. But it would be six years later in January of 1998 that, on a visit to Washington, DC, he was introduced to Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL) Weekend and, during that same weekend, ONYX, the Leather/BDSM fraternity for gay Men of Color.
After relocating to DC in 2003, Rod joined ONYX in 2005, and began work of co-founding the ONYX Mid-Atlantic Chapter-in-progress. Rod was elected President of the ONYX Mid-Atlantic Chapter in 2007. Earlier that year, ONYX Mid-Atlantic Chapter established its T.E.A.C.H. Program, a monthly Leather/BDSM seminar for gay and bisexual Men of Color. Rod has presented on “Safe, Sane and Consensual” for T.E.A.C.H. in 2007 and 2008, and has presented at Blackout XIII and Blackout XV, ONYX’s national annual run in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale respectively. He has also participated in various panels for DC Leather Pride; namely, “What Are the Leather Clubs” in 2007, and “People of Color and the Leather Community” in 2010. He also moderated the community panel on “Diversity” for Black Rose in 2010.
In addition to his work in ONYX, Rod graduated from the Master Taino Training Academy Masters’ Training in 2008. He also became an Associate Member of the dc boys of leather.
Rod’s kink play and fetishes include fisting, spanking, ass play, and wax play. You may also find him at various Leather and BDSM gatherings, including MAL, International Mr. Leather Weekend, the Master/slave Conference and Black BEAT. In his “other life”, Rod is a Program Manager at the National Association of People With AIDS. He is also an ordained Deacon with the Unity Fellowship Church of Washington, DC, where he coordinates the church’s HIV/AIDS Ministry. ONYX colors?
