Who we are
Ti Murray
therapeutic Kink Practitioner
(They/Them/Their)
Ti (tea) is the author of A Kink in the Cure and a Therapeutic Kink Practitioner. At their core, they are a believer in making the world a better place. By day, they consult with businesses and governments on cultural change strategies and disruptive transformation initiatives, coaching leaders in pursuit of their goals, and mediating conflict in relationships and the workplace. By night, they are advancing the evolution of society through sexual freedom education and kinky coaching, supporting local non-profits, and engaging with subversive social-change organizations. They carry a degree in Individualized Studies from Goddard College, where they focused on Behavioral Science with an emphasis on the use of BDSM as a tool for healing sexual shame and trauma.
Ti “switches” in nearly every way that they can. They are a gender-chaotic, polyamorous, switch. A Daddy-Pup, service top, and personal shopper, among other things. They hold a Certificate in Conflict Mediation, a Black Belt in Lean Process Improvement, and carry an authentic replica of The One Ring (just in case). They served on the boards of the Seattle Center for Sex Positive Culture and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. Ti is available to deliver presentations and workshops on topics such as:
Balloon Animal Bondage
Privilege & Power
Consensual Sensual Touch
D/s Dynamics for Beginners
Finding YOUR Edge
Laughter Belongs in the Dungeon
kink coaching
and many others
Ali Wyles
Technial & Media Wizard
(She/her/hers)
Ali Wyles is the renaissance woman doing the majority of the off-stage KITC work. She is immensely proud to have played an instrumental role in moving A Kink in the Cure from a collection of essays to a compelling stage piece. She is a professional haikuist, an engineer, a sex activist, and a project manager.
She is a poly, kinky, pansexual, switchy Latina. She is a daughter, an aunt, a friend, and a lover. She is many things, and she is just like you: confused and saddened by a world which punishes so many of us for our very existence. Ali believes sharing our stories is a necessary step along the path to healing ourselves and our world. When we share our stories of pain, joy, and ecstasy we recognize ourselves in one another. She sees herself in almost every story she hears; when she doesn’t like what she sees, she changes it. She is lucky to love so many people including pretty men in skirts, gender-fluid beauties, and strong women who love minions. Ali holds degrees from Colorado College, the College-Conservatory of Music, and the Wentworth Institute of Technology. She lives in CO with her partner, two cats, and dog. Ali is a regular contributor on Medium, and you can read her work at medium.com/@ali.wyles.
Iszi Hull
Consent Seeker
(Ze/Zir/Zirs)
Iszi is a communications enthusiast and an experienced kink coach. Ze holds space for communication and collaboration to help people work together vulnerably and authentically in all areas of life. Iszi was an original reader for the KitC essay compilation and had the honor of quietly contributing consent considerations over the years. Iszi’s current passion project is Playing Around, a vlog sharing zirs life’s journey via the magic of Patreon.
Iszi is a gender-creative, kinky, pansexual, polyamorous switch. Ze is an eager helper, a kind supporter, a curious listener, and is continually striving to grow. Ze believes that understanding, connection, and kindness can change the world - and that KitC is an important tool for that change. Sometimes it’s easier to have compassion for others; seeing our similarities through shared stories can lead us to kindness with ourselves.
Iszi comes to this work with a lifetime of experience with conscious thought, intentional living, and considered communication. Ze lives on the road with zirs nesting partner and the many wonderful humans who shelter them. You can share zirs journey via Patreon at patreon.com/playingaround or Instagram @playingaroundjourney
