👑We’re thrilled to welcome Cortez Daniel to Philly Leather Pride as one of our 2026 Emcees! 🔥
A proud leatherman, ABDL, wolf, switch, and self-proclaimed certified chaos gremlin, Cortez brings an infectious mix of humor, heart, authenticity, and just the right amount of trouble wherever he goes. Since entering the Leather community in 2016, he’s built a reputation for showing up, giving back, bringing people together—and making sure nobody forgets to have a damn good time while doing it!
As Mr. NJ Leather 2026, Cortez embodies the spirit of community, service, chosen family, and unapologetic self-expression. Whether he’s organizing, educating, volunteering, fundraising, mentoring, or taking the stage, he’s committed to creating spaces where people can be exactly who they are.
And his personal philosophy says it all:
Live life deliciously.
Love unapologetically.
Help your people.
And cause a little chaos.
Oh—and remember his one simple rule:
If he bites it, it’s his now. 😈🐺
We can’t wait to have Cortez behind the microphone and helping us make Philly Leather Pride 2026 a night to remember!
Come for the Leather. Stay for the community. Buckle up for the chaos. 🔥
