Lady D

My name is Reverend Deborah Harrison, but I am better known as Lady D. I am a Lifestyle Domme and the owner of D&S Lifestyles Inc. I am an ordained minister, a counselor and consultant and a certified Master Hypnotherapist and I truly believe in holistic healing of mind, body and spirit. In all of these capacities, I counsel and help those in complimentary lifestyles acknowledge their divine nature and accept who they truly are. For almost fourteen years I was the leader of P.E.P Atlanta (People Exchanging Power), a pansexual support and social group. In 2001, I created PEP4POC (People Exchanging Power for People of Color) an inclusionary group created to Enlighten, Empower and dispel myths and misconceptions concerning BDSM and People of Color. I founded Onyx Pearls Southeast in 2006 and am a past president and organizer. I also helped to relaunch OPSE in 2015. Onyx Pearls Southeast is a women’s organization focused on empowerment, female camaraderie, community awareness and community service. Onyx Pearls Southeast is the sister organization to the Southeast Men of Onyx and many other Onyx Pearls chapters have been birthed. I was also Ms. Southern Coastal States Leather from 2000 to 2012.
