Join us with Mollena Williams-Haas, American writer, BDSM educator, actor, story teller and former International Ms. Leather, for an episode of Open Deeply in which Mollena explains how she took her back her agency and came to understand intergenerational pain more fully via BDSM. Mollena doesn’t shy away from even the hardest questions related to being a Black woman who identifies as submissive. Her journey and storytelling have been so impactful to so many, that they eventually culminated in a film, The Artist and the Pervert. Furthermore, in this second episode with Mollena, she explains that although trauma related racism and classism lead her to being a “bed wetting alcoholic” for quite some time, she rose above, got sober, and eventually created the acclaimed show, “Hyena” along with her husband, composer, Georg Frederick-Haas about her experience with alcoholism. She continues to be a living testimony that our most dark fantasies and painful life stories can be transmuted into art that helps others heal and discard their own personal, debilitating shame. We hope you join us for this amazing episode.
