Fellowship. Agency. Growth.

ONYX Pacific Northwest is a fraternal organization—a fellowship built on camaraderie, mentorship, and mutual support. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and affirming space for people of color interested in the leather, kink, and BDSM lifestyle. Our chapter is not limited by gender identity; rather, it is rooted in shared values and a commitment to community.

EDUCATE

Our mission is to provide educational opportunities for our territory. From workshops, to demos, to parties, we make education central to our work. We center on people of color in leather.

EMPOWER

Our Fellowship is built on respect and connection. ONYX Pacific Northwest members uplift the community and each other through shared learning, mutual care, and service.

EXPLORE

We celebrate curiosity, and center pleasure. We create spaces for people to explore their desires through informed consent. From kink skill-shares to game nights, every gathering is an invitation to learn and grow.
