In 2005 silent answered a call for a photoshoot and discovered an awakening in her soul - deep slave tendencies and a strong desire to engage in consensual power exchange relationships.  She also quickly recognized that success in the Lifestyle first required a fearless drive to strip the many layers of habits, conditioning, and societal expectations in order to develop an authentic and healthy relationship with self.  This self-exploration became her personal Quest.

Silent, a proud native New Yorker, has been active in the local NYC scene and at a multitude of events up and down the East Coast.  These activities, her consistent pursuit of a healthy honest relationship with self, and carefully surrounding herself with authentic, like-minded people who accentuated her Hunger for More all led her to embrace not only the Issues and Triumphs of Women of Color in the Lifestyle and M/s dynamics but also polyamory, kink, and bisexuality.

However, despite the hundreds of events, classes, conferences, and all that the NYC community offered silent never quite found a connection with a group or organization that fed her core.  As the years went on, a spark grew in her to make more of a tangible difference in the Lifestyle community, and in 2017 she founded a monthly NYC munch for s-types as well as became the first sister to join the newly formed ONYX Pearls NY/NE chapter.

Silent served as the ONYX Pearls NY-NE Pledge Mistress for over two years with a focus to bring genuine, thoughtful, and inspiring individuals into the Leather/ONYX Pearls Lifestyle.  Her positive nature and ever present smile smoothed the way for many pledges even on their toughest days with her consistent support and encouragement of growth, harmony, and success. 

As ONYX Pearls NY-NE’s 2021 President, Silent believes that each Chapter Member has a wealth of skills and talents.  Under her leadership she plans to encourage us to achieve ALL that is possible within our hearts and minds and create the promise of our collective potential.  “If we each put in the work, pull TOGETHER, and actively, responsibly collaborate with one another we will take ONYX Pearls NY-NE to the NEXT Level!” 

With this idea in mind, Silent’s vision for 2021 is to build a strong, accountable board and to expand opportunities to educate, support, and empower each of our Sisters, so they can also lead in big ways and small, and make a strong difference in our community.
