Class description and my bio:

“Getting the Word Out”: How to use PR and Marketing for the Leather Community
by Leland Carina

For many of us the Leather community becomes an additional career, which can include anything from volunteering within organizations, presenting on topics of interests, and marketing events. So, how do we get the word out to the greater community about the things we are so passionate about? In this class we learn how social networking and other tools can be used to raise awareness. Topics will include general best practices, aspects of social networking, how to publicize events, and resource lists. This class is geared towards those who are currently or looking to become organizers, presenters, volunteers, and leaders within the BDSM community.

I am so happy to announce that I have been given the honor of being a Leather Marshal of the Pride Parade in San Francisco this year! Thank you to everyone who made the nominations and voted. It was a great group of nominees this year.

Race Bannon and I will be riding together in a human-pony drawn cart at the front of the Leather Contingent!

Please plan to come out to march in the parade. Race and I would love to see a strong showing of Leather folks.
