Dominatrix Mistress Marley Profiled by New York Times

NEW YORK — Mistress Marley recently shared her experience and expertise as a successful "financial dominatrix" with the New York Times.

Focusing on the “findom” phenomenon, the article — titled “She Gets Paid Just to Humiliate Her Fans” — explained how the self-described “Chocolate Domme” commands “an impressive host of ‘finsubs’ to surrender their wallets to her in the form of monetary tributes that includes an ongoing exercise of humiliation and degradation, and how the past year’s lockdowns have shifted her business from in-person sessions to virtual,” said a rep.

“So many people are thriving off of this industry online,” Marley told NYT journalist Alexandra Weiss. “I know this because I’m thriving.”

According to Marley, after several months of research and preparation, she quit her fashion marketing job in 2018, set up social media accounts to formally announce her entry into the financial domination sphere, and posted a simple message: “Who wants to buy me lunch?”

“The pro Domme’s devoted army of submissives have been lining up to pay her lunches ever since,” the rep added.

Marley has also launched a collective, Black Domme Sorority, a supportive community of over 125 members that offers “professional advice, guidance and emotional nourishment in order to positively thrive in such a competitive industry,” the rep said.

Marley told the Times that, “for me, especially as a Black woman, I see my financial gains as reparations, because the majority, if not all of my clients, are white men.”
