Bridgid She/Her

Bridgid (she/her) is an Indigiqueer Slave and Bootblack from Southern Indiana. For nearly 16 years, she has been collared to her Sir and husband, Master Michael. She is also the current Director of Communications for the Carter/Johnson Library and Collection and personal assistant to Mama Vi Johnson.  She was also appointed as the Midwest slave for 2023 and 2024.

When she's not serving her Sir or her community, bridgid is an avid gamer (PS5 for the win!), a knitter, and a reader. She also has a soft spot for souped-up cars, motorcycles, and other things that go fast.

In her community, she is a board member of her local munch and was a member of MAsT: Evansville when it was still active. She and her Sir have taught at their local munch, MAsT: Evansville and MAsT: Gettysburg. She is a member of the Council of Indigenous Leather (CoIL). Bridgid is a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights, leveraging her role as Midwest Slave to raise awareness about critical issues like blood quantum and the harmful ideologies it reinforces. A complete and updated class list can be found on Fetlife.
