PRESENTER:

Princess Rara (she/her) is a sadomasochist, kink educator, and the founder of Pink Kink—a platform that includes a podcast, boutique, and educational institute dedicated to helping kinksters build confident, ethical kink lives. With ten years in the BDSM community, she brings a blend of experience, honesty, and humor to everything she teaches.

Her classes cover both foundational and advanced topics, always with a focus on real-world application, consent, and personal growth. Known for her warm, inclusive, and engaging teaching style, Rara doesn't talk at her students—she creates space for discussion, story-sharing, and connection. Her goal is to meet people where they are, help them feel seen and validated, and support their journey toward more intentional and empowered kink.

Rara has taught for organizations including Dark Odyssey, Studio 58, and Wicked Grounds. In the DC area, she’s also a munch host, Demo/House Top, occasional Pro Domme, and party host in her private dungeon. No matter the setting, she is committed to creating spaces where kinksters of all kinds feel respected, supported, and safe to explore who they are.
