Who are the Mid-Atlantic Onyx Pearls?

The Mid-Atlantic Onyx Pearls are proud women and non-binary people of color who serve our Leather and kink communities with honesty and integrity. We are a nonprofit organization that lives the motto of "Educate, Empower, Explore" with our members and all whom we encounter. We of MAOP form strong bonds, family unity, and provide a safe space for women and non-binary people of color to feel welcomed and at home. We celebrate our rich history and actively engage ourselves, and our history, in charting our present through education, self-awareness, socialization and the safe exploration of our sexuality.

​

As a social organization, we accept members from Southern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia
