TruRose (she/her/hers) - Director of Registration
TruRose is a dedicated service-oriented collared slave and masochist who discovered her slave heart five years ago serving in New York’s High Protocol circles. Her experience as a service submissive transformed her vision of service from a personal practice into a pillar of community advocacy. Based in Maryland, TruRose pours that heart into intentionally holding space for the voices and perspectives too often pushed to the edges of the lifestyle.
Rooted in the belief that true service includes accessible community for all, she creates safe, welcoming spaces where every human can show up authentically. This commitment is reflected in her support for Black and Kinky DC, Matriarxy, and MsC.
Navigating the lifestyle with an invisible disability, she brings a resilient lens to power and impact. Whether exploring bondage, fire, cigars, or advocating for marginalized voices, TruRose remains a steadfast light. Off-duty, she finds her center in a good book or the strum of her guitar.
