Furry Migration 2025 Guest of Honors
MLW
MLW, pronounced “Emmel”, is a an artist and happy little lint ball from the outskirts of Chicago, IL.
While they’ve been a furry and animation aficionado since forever- they attended their first con at Midwest Fur Fest 2011. The next year, they started selling multi-purpose foxes and dopey little badges in the Artist Alley. They’ve now attended over a hundred conventions and filled the world with thousands of badges, telegram stickers and multi-purpose foxes along the way. Now they’re GoH at Furry Migration 2025 and can’t wait to share their art with you!
Their simple, toony style reflects their outlook:
Don’t overthink, stay whimsical and always be silly.

Moms of Furries
Carrie and Joelle, known as the “Moms of Furries,” have become well-known advocates within the vibrant furry community. Their story began when their teenage children expressed an interest in the furry fandom. Unsure of what to expect, they decided to accompany their kids to a furry convention, hoping to learn more about this vibrant world. They immediately discovered a warm and welcoming community filled with creativity and kindness, and they saw the positive impact it had on their children’s confidence and sense of belonging.Motivated by their experience, Carrie and Joelle started the “Moms of Furries” YouTube channel and began engaging with others on social media to offer support to fellow parents and young furries navigating this unique fandom. They also created the Young Furry Chill Space™, a sanctuary at conventions where young furries and their grown-ups can unwind and feel comfortable.
While they are grateful for the recognition they have received, Carrie and Joelle are besties with a mission. Through their efforts, they hope to promote understanding and inclusivity, contributing to a more welcoming world for everyone.
