Mentorship in Leather has never been casual, crowdsourced, or performative.
Historically, it has been intentional, accountable, and grounded in lived experience—passed from one generation to the next through teaching, example, and responsibility.

The Mentorship section of The Leather Sentinel exists to document and publish my personal mentorship writings while preserving the spirit in which mentorship was originally practiced not to dictate identity, but to shape conduct.

This space is designed to:

• Preserve Old Guard principles without freezing them in time
• Acknowledge Neo Guard realities without discarding structure
• Provide shared language where misunderstanding currently exists
• Offer educational material that can be reflected upon—not weaponized

All mentorship articles published here are intended as guidance, analysis, and frameworks, not decrees. They are written for those who seek understanding, growth, and accountability within Leather culture.
