We extend our deepest condolences to Art's spouse David Bell, as well as his family and friends. This year's LeatherWalk will be dedicated to Art's memory and legacy.

We would like to congratulate Their Most Imperial Majesties Afrika America and Ashle Blow on a stellar reign. This was the first time in the history of The Imperial Council that both the Emperor and Empress are black. They step down tomorrow, leaving their legacy for the next Monarchs.
