We have been all about celebrating black kinkiness and this week is no exception. This week the pups sat down with Daija, A black femme bootblack, to talk all about the craft. We talk to Daija about her experiences as a black bootblack (say that five times fast), and we talk about some of the challenges that black people, and femmes can face on the stand. We also dive into the term “Vest Bias,” and how it can affect people who want to engage in community. Finally we talk about Black leather style, and how young people are putting together amazing outfits and fashion on a budget.
More about Daijah: Daijah Flames (pronounced Day-Jah) is a bootblack based in NJ and originally from NY. Daijah is a member of Onyx Pearls NY NE and is a leather middle. Daijah is known for both her skills as a budding fire top and bootblack. Daijah has bootblacked at spaces such as Folsom Street East, Submit NYC, Low Key Kink, Sanctuary Events, IMsLBB, SheMagik Events, The ColosseumNY, NJ Leather Family Beer Bust and Westcoast Bound 2024. Daijah has a special love for suede and nubuck care as she wants all materials to experience the love of a bootblack, even those considered a little bratty such as herself. She does her best to expand her knowledge to many kinds of materials and shares her skills with others on her TikTok channel. When Daijah is not bootblacking she loves traveling, watching movies and YouTube, hosting munches, and spending time with loved ones. She is bubbly, pansexual, panromantic, polyamorous, and always down to be your demo bottom. Daijah has presented for several black and brown groups including Onyx Pearls NY/NE, Supreme Queens, Be the Difference Munch, Virtual Bootblack Jam, and more to come in 2024.
