Isabella Cross / slave maya (she/her)

Isabella Cross is a Latinx queer ethical non-monogamous Leather femme switch. Her journey into BDSM/Leather began circa 2015 at the CSPC in Seattle, Wa during Sexploration. It took her three tries to get through the door, but once in, she never looked back!

Her desire to share this amazing life has led her to be in service to local organizations such as Everett Poly, MAsT: Everett, MAsT: Seattle, Everett Leather Alliance and The Gathering. She has presented for Everett C.E.O., The Gathering, Leather Reign, Everett Poly and The Flame Conference. Most recently she assisted as Co-Director for Raven’s Kaldera The Holy Fire Conference and is currently working with several other conferences either producing, presenting, advertising and/or moderating. 

Isabella Cross / slave maya is in devotion and service to Gene as His property, slavegirl, masochist and pony. 

She is honored to be in a Leather family with MAsT Everett Director Xavier and co-director slave darby.

Her biggest joy and passion is to connect with all in her community and to provide a safe space of inclusivity, mentorship and growth.

Her favorite line: All beginnings are valid. You belong here. Welcome!

D-types are considered to be the ones who lead and guide the power dynamic. But, what happens when your D-type suffers from PTSD? In this interactive discussion we will look at recognizing traits of PTSD as well as work arounds from a slave's perspective. We will discuss how PTSD affects the dynamic and how the s-type plays a major role in identifying

ways to support both the dynamic and D-type during triggering events such as dissociation from the present to the past memories, overwhelming sadness, anger, anxiety or depression, catatonic states or even aggressiveness, depending on the individual.
