Roan (wossum) is a queer trans (they/them/it/Sir/pup) pan, poly, sadomasochistic pup, switch, and proud Leather Viking. With more than twenty-five years in the lifestyle and twelve years semi-active in the DFW scene, they found their true home in Leather in 2022. Their heart and home are firmly rooted in The Lotus Wolf Clan out of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Service and education are Roan’s life-song. You’ll find them at bootblack stands, in classrooms, or working behind the scenes at events like Beyond Vanilla, Vision, SPLF, Whips in the Woods, GWNN, BED, and OKLF. Their dedication extends far beyond kink: they volunteer with the DFW Wildlife Coalition, animal shelters, veteran assistance programs, crisis hotlines, Warm Up America, and Food Banks of America.

Roan is an advocate and motivational voice for SA warriors of all ages and genders, and a safe place for anyone who needs a steady anchor. They openly live with DiD and eight autoimmune conditions, using their experiences to teach others how to navigate life and play with their own “super powers.”

Roan looks forward to deepening their knowledge, expanding their chosen family, and sharing space—and life—with Y/you.
