A number of Leather Women and Men have agreed to act as mentors to us, giving us other perspectives on Leather. Their views — local, regional and national help us better grasp Leather geographically and over time.

Other mentors may not be Leather but are noted for their expertise in a kink or toy; they have agreed to share their expertise and coach us along the path to safe play. We thank them all.
