Pasifika Panel
A Virtual Panel Raising Pasifika Voices
Join the Leather Solidarity Collective (LSC) on September 13th, 8pm Eastern for the "LEATHER & KINK PASIFIKA VOICES" Panel. Listen to the triumphs and struggles from their journeys.
The umbrella label of "Asian American Pacific Islander" focuses primarily on Asian experiences and does not capture the experiences of Pasifka people. Join the Leather Solidarity Collective on September 13th as we discuss and celebrate the intersectionality and nuances of Pasifika heritage.
