A rose by any other name…..still gets the job done.  

Her choice of pronouns are feminine but she’s still here and Queer. Her introduction to the public realm of BDSM over a decade ago in Philadelphia, PA. Her history in power exchange relationships and S&M dates back double that.  She cut her teeth in the Philadelphia scene in the Black Phoenix dungeon and the Black BEAT/Philadelphia Munch group.

Traveling up and down the I95 Northeast Corridor if you’ve been to; The Crucible, Paddles, Black BEAT, Pangea, Weekend Reunion – chances are you’ve seen her there. She gets around.

While she receded from public appearances for a time to focus on her family and relationship, the kink never left the girl. Her focus instead led her to her current educational path with the goal line of a PsyD in human sexuality. She’s a Department of Labor Trained & Certified facilitator. Her professional career(s) in Social Work, the Philadelphia Police Department, and Union Organizing have clocked her countless hours in negotiations skills, conflict resolution, and enhanced her unique ability to relate to others.

Her love of educating blossomed while running the Union’s Leadership Training program and she used those building blocks to develop a series of workshops designed to explain ‘kink’ to the vanilla audience. She’s a published writer about kink and alternative sexuality appearing in online forums for Adam & Eve, Blogher, and contributing as the featured sex columnist for the online publication Everything Girls Love. Her focus now is to give back to her kink community by delivering a menu of discussions and workshops designed to enhance your BDSM experience.

She’s an outspoken and unashamed Feminist who still finds a way to deliver her unique Vizion from the Bottom. POC by birth, she’s celebrates both her melanin and her sex positivity. A list of her presentations and workshops can be found at: www.vizionzfromthebottom.com. Inquiries on her availability can be sent to bookaphroditebrown@gmail.com.

Her “constant readers” know her as Aphrodite….but you can also call her – Nicole
