1 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Hello professional homegirls, ish girl Ebinez here and I hope 2 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: all is cute. Now. In this rewind episode, I sat 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: down with a retired escort who kept it all the 4 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: way real and y'all know I love that energy and 5 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: raw as we dove deep into the sex work industry. Now, 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: she opened up about her several years as an escort 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: and how she got started, broke down the levels of 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the whole archery, and she shared the main reason she 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: decided to walk away. But it didn't just stopped there. 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: She also got real candid about the challenges she faced 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: from navigating stigma to dealing with clients and how the 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: experience shaped her perspective on relationships, boundaries, and self worth. Now, 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: trust me, this throwback episode is just as good now 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: as it was back then. So get ready because I 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: am a retired escort. Starts now. So what is a 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: sex worker? So? Sex worker is a umbrella term that 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: is used and that basically means that people who are 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: engaging in a transactional relationship with somebody can cone for 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: sexual favors or services, can be considered to be a 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: sex worker. So not everybody in the sex industry does 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: consider themselves to be a sex worker. So it really 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: is just a case by case person. Okay, So I 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: know that there is a lot of different categories under 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: the umbrella of being a sex worker. Yes, so some 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 1: of those categories can be things like full service sex worker, 26 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: escort BDSM, shipping, or less porn webcamming, prostitution, prostitution. Prostitution 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: is a legal term that most people do not use. 28 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: So prostitution is like one of those legal terms, yes, constitution, Yes, 29 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: like legally it's prostitution. But you will hear, you'll rarely 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: hear somebody in the sex industries call themselves a prostitute. Oh, 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm knowing the podcasts. Why do you think there's so 32 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: much like negative connotation around this industry? I the best 33 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: reason I've come up so far with is that America 34 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: seems to have values and morals or think and so 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: especially when you talk about like people of color engaging 36 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: in this industry is often negative just because of stigma. 37 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: They equate like sexuality with value. Some states, Uh, it's 38 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: partectarly Red states seem to think that like if you 39 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: lose your virginity or have sex a lot, you it's 40 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: like pulling off a piece of tape. And it loses 41 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: its stickiness, which is not at all true. That's not 42 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: how your parent works. So I think there's just a 43 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: lot of negative connotation because of the person you are, 44 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: who is doing it, who is benefiting from it. There's 45 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: a lot of racially motivated misinformation. And I also think 46 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: because it's so criminalized, people can't share their experiences, whether 47 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: it's survival work, so they're doing it for a place 48 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: to stay, money to have food to eat, or they're 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: doing it because this is a career choice that they 50 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: have made. I think that because it's so criminalized that 51 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: it really limits people's ability to share their narratives. So 52 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: you either see the really glamorous side of sex work 53 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: or you see the really horrible like human trafficking, people 54 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: not being able to make their own choice aside, you 55 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: don't ever really think that in between or like a 56 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: means of survival at that. Yes, one thing that we 57 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: spoke about previously is I know there's a different categories 58 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: within this industry. Why is it that certain categories look 59 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: down of the categories. So if I'm an escort, why 60 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: would I look down on the strip And we're kind 61 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: of doing the same thing in a sense, I've looked 62 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: like a animosity. Yeah, parts of it is a stigma. 63 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: They feel like I'm not that girl. I'm not having 64 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: sex with people, They're just seeing my body. I think 65 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stigma around that. There's a lot 66 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: of pride in being not that girl or not that 67 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: person because not only women, are not only people who 68 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: will present as women participating in the sex industry. I 69 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: think it's also about criminalization. The more you get into 70 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the criminalized side of sex industry, the less you know 71 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: willing people who are doing quote unquote legal forms of 72 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: sex work are willing to associate with that. So if 73 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: you're a stripper, your club may or may not allow 74 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: extras or whatever. So it really just depends on like 75 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: how far away you want to stay from criminalization. So 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: it's like a horarchy as we will call it. But yeah, yo, 77 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: that's the word. I heard. Ahrarchy'act what it is? Yeah, 78 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: which is so funny with me. I'm like this, bear, 79 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: are we doing the same thing? And the hoierarchy also 80 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: encompasses people who there is so any job you work, ever, 81 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: no matter what less you are on the scale of exploitation, 82 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: and the sex industry is no different. The more privilege 83 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: you are, the more resources you have, the more ability 84 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: you have to make choice. And so with that being said, 85 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: just like any other job, there's things that can influence 86 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: your choice. And so I think that people equate safeness 87 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: with privilege and that's not necessarily true. And they also 88 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: have this thing of like of this moral high ground 89 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: because of how privilege they can be within the industry. 90 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, everybody engages in 91 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: a transactional relationship, whether you're in the sex industry or not. 92 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Marriage is no different. Working for an employer is no different. 93 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: You are there because they are paying you. You are 94 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: there because they're giving you something you want need, and 95 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: that is a transactional relationship no matter how you cut it. 96 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: What are some misconceptions you want to clear about that 97 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: about the industry because I feel like lately so I 98 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: did an episode I think it was like episode eight 99 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: with my guests, and she's a transgender and she was 100 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: telling me how a lot of women or trans women 101 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: are a sex worker because it's a means of survival. 102 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: So me just being whaim, I was just diving into 103 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: this topic and next thing you know, I started realizing, 104 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: like every every week or maybe twice a week, a 105 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: black trans woman was being is being killed, and I 106 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: feel like people don't understand, Like one of the reasons 107 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: why I learned about the whole community is because people 108 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: don't Transgender women don't do it because they feel like 109 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: they want to do it. It's more of a need 110 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: if they have to do it because it's a means 111 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: of survival because they can't get a regular job. And then, 112 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, but then and everything else, what does the 113 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: misconceptions you want to clear up? So as far as 114 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: like the whole of sex industry, there's a lot of 115 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: reasons why people into the sex industry, and as far 116 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: as it goes for like trans folks and people in 117 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: that community, there is a lot of stigma. There's a 118 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: lot of violence that comes with working traditional jobs, and 119 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: so going into the sex industry is a means of survival. 120 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: But also what people fail to realize is that regardless 121 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: of the sex industry or not the formal sex industry 122 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: and not people who have been doing sex work from 123 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the beginning of time and having when we have such 124 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: strong feelings and opinions about people's sexual identities and people 125 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: sexual relationships and attractions and orientations that puts trans people 126 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: at more risk because they're not able to be people 127 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: who engage with trans folks are not able to be 128 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: who they want to be in life without being criticized, 129 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: without being looked upon, And so I feel like that 130 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: also has a conversation to deal with, like why we 131 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: can't just to set people for people who they are, 132 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: who they want to date and be in a relationship 133 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: with they want to be a relationship with. So I 134 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: think that's part of it. And also there's a mis 135 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: understanding that trans folks are the opposite gender and they're 136 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: just playing the role like no trans people. If you're 137 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: a trans woman, you're a woman. If you're a transman, 138 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: you're a transman, And if you are non binary, you're 139 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: a non binary. And at the end of the day, 140 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm not in your position. I'm not in your mind, 141 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm not in your body to tell you who you 142 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: can't speak. So I think that's that also plays into 143 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: like the unsafeness of thinking that trans folks are some 144 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of sub content of human where they don't need 145 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: the same protections and rights that anybody else do. So 146 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: I think we have to treat everybody with respect regardless 147 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: of what they want to do. Is nobody's business, right 148 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, I'm not judging them. 149 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: I can't tell them where they're going to go after 150 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: they leave here, So that's that's part of it. And 151 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: I think that as far, I don't know where I'm 152 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: going to go right the I think the part of 153 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: the sex industry is that there is somebody for everybody, 154 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: and I think that this is the one industry where 155 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: you can truly be, You can truly become whoever you 156 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: want to become in that industry. So there's like there's 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: up you know, upside to that, like you know, being 158 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: able to express yourself with wherever you want to be 159 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: and truly be that person to make your money. But 160 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: also the downside of that is that when trans folks 161 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: get killed and when black women get killed in this process, 162 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: cops be like they ask for it, They take themselves 163 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: in a positions occupational hazard. And I don't agree with that. 164 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that if I'm if I'm a sex worker, 165 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: I should just automatically be written off like I deserve 166 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: to die like that those two things are not they 167 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: should not be equated. So I think that part of 168 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: that is just like coming to the concept that everybody 169 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: engages in sex work for the most part. If you're married, 170 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: if you like, you're not in sex work, but you're 171 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: engagingment in transact relationship. And also you have to get 172 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: over this factor that America has morals because it don't. 173 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: So once we get over that, really, so I know, 174 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: before we did this interview, I was like, let me 175 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: find out which I'm brill you fit in because I 176 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: want to make sure I asked all the right questions. 177 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: So you told me that you were a full service 178 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: sex worker, So what does that mean? So being a 179 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: full separate service sex worker. I engaged in GF which 180 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: his girlfriend experience, I was somebody's girlfriend. I showed up 181 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: like a girlfriend, So I showed up in sweats and 182 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: the tech top. I showed up in regular degular clothes. Okay, 183 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what sex workers kind of show up 184 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: in people's door with. I should hope that they kind 185 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: of show up in regular secular clothes. I really don't know. 186 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't do the whole lingerie because I've had one 187 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: experience where I bought like nice longarade for this one client. 188 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: He tried to pop it off, like excuse me, sir, no, 189 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, so we we just we doay all that. 190 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: But basically there's different So when you're an escort, you 191 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: offer different services. M you can, And for me, I 192 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: pretty much did everything as long as it was covered, 193 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: as long as we were using protection, because I don't 194 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: play with that raw sex nothing. And then also that's 195 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: a point of privilege for me because there's some people 196 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: who are in survival sex and sex work who can't 197 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: necessarily make that choice. So I don't look down on 198 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: anybody who don't use protection, but for me, that was 199 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: a must. And then for the most part, I offered 200 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: every services except I don't do like the fetish side, 201 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: so there's like a fetish side. I don't really do 202 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: the whole pin on nobody. I don't do. They be 203 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: making mad money if they do, but I personally it's crazy. 204 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot of I don't even like my ship. 205 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: I don't think I can do somebody else. I've been 206 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: to do a lot of strange things for money. Some 207 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: of them entertained the idea of doing like so there's 208 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: people who buy your underwear, but you have to wear them. 209 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: I heard about it. Yeah, somebody say that if you've 210 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: been like working out whatever, they want you to send 211 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: your underwear as is and they pay money for Yes, 212 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: So I've had that. I've had people who have foot 213 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: fetishes who would touch my toes and do all the 214 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: ships and my toes. I'm not with that, but whatever, 215 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: because when you are doing fetish you have to be 216 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: dead serious. You can't do the whole laughing joking. No, 217 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: you have to be dead serious. So, yeah, I played, 218 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: and the whole book stash industry is like booming. Yeah, 219 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: I play entirely too much for that. You know. There's 220 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: just certain things that I just know that it's probably 221 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: gonna hurt my client's feelings, but I just don't think right. 222 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: But I've been approached by a lot of different propositions 223 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: before and it depends on my willingness and how much 224 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: you will pay. So yeah, so full service kind of 225 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: like in companies, you can't do everything would normally do. 226 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes that include dates, sometimes that don't include dates. You 227 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: just want to fuck, So if either way it doesn't 228 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: bother me. So what's something that you did that you 229 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: thought you wasn't gonna do but the money was right 230 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: and you did it nothing really, I mean I've never 231 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: really been asked for like outleaning and stuff as far 232 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: as sex stuff goes. But I've had like really intense 233 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: conversations with clients who are like, I want you to 234 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: be like my real life girlfriend, and I'm like, you 235 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: do not want me as a girl.

Please don't nah fuck that. 237 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: I haven't run your bank account exactly like ruin your 238 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: ruin your life, like, please don't, don't do it to yourself, sir. 239 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: So I started doing sex work when I was about 240 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: fourteen mm hmm, and I've done it for a while. 241 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: Oh wow, yep, so probably like I would say, seven, 242 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: does that make sense, Like yeah, like six or seven years? 243 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: So how was you introduced to it? So I had 244 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: babies when I was really young, and dudes will always 245 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: be in my face like once again trying like trying 246 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: to entice me to ruin their life. And so being 247 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: that I like already had this kind of independent mindset 248 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: like I had children to take care of and things 249 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: to do. You wasn't fit to sit. My face was free. 250 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: So there's no point of us having this like courting 251 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: process where really, all you want to do is fuck me. 252 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: So if that's the case, you already want to fuck me. 253 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't really want to have sex with you, but 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: I'll have sex with you if you're finn to give 255 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: me something in return, so you know, it kind of 256 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: was just it was like almost like a lightbel moment, 257 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: like if you want to be in my face and 258 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: what you got, and if you don't got, then you 259 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: need to just keep a pushing because there's no point 260 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: in doing the formalities when really all you want sex, right, 261 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: So if you keep it one hundred right like that, really, 262 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's what you want. 263 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: There's no reason to do all the extra I don't 264 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: want to relationship. I don't want to be with you. 265 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: You clearly don't want to be with me, so let's 266 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: just skip all that. What you got to offer, what 267 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: you come to the table with. So what were the events? 268 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: Because for you to be fourteen, like I can only 269 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: imagine that you was probably exposed to like something had 270 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: to expose you to it, Like does something happen for 271 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: you to get into this industry or for you to 272 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: even start thinking like that? Not at all. I just 273 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: was in my mindset of like I have people to 274 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: take care of and that requires money, and y'all's in 275 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: my face playing games. So that's the case, Like I'm 276 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: doing these little internships for seven dollars eight thous an 277 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: hour and y'all sitting in my face playing And so 278 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: from like a state where people really try to flex, 279 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: like they really be like, oh I got bread, I 280 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: got money. Okay, you got money back, so you like 281 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: you got money though, like or they're just trying to 282 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: be like it's always dudes that try to flex and 283 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: be like I got a car. Okay, you got a car, 284 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: so you're finish. Take me somewhere like you like if 285 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: I call you, are you going? You know. So it 286 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: was really on those of like when they try to 287 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: mind fuck you, I mind sucked them right back. And 288 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was like a community of 289 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: people who did this. I didn't know it was a 290 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: whole industry. I didn't know there was people who like 291 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: actually engaged in this way until I was older and 292 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: in college. So it was just like, you know, you're 293 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: really trying to mind fuck me. And I'm to the 294 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: point where like I have kids and people to like 295 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: that depend on me, so play these games. Cool, but 296 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: you got to offer me. And I just think that 297 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: given my life circumstances of like, you know, having to 298 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: take care of people my whole life, I never really 299 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: was a child, like I always took care of somebody. 300 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: So see, that's how I was going to ask you, 301 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: because I know when we talked before, you mentioned that 302 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: your mom passed away your age. So I feel like 303 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: you kind of just had to, like, like you say, 304 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: just take care of business, they handle your own because 305 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: you really didn't have anybody to help you in a sense. Yeah, 306 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: it's always been like my mom was about four hundred 307 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: pounds and she was also addicted to drugs. Both my 308 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: parents were addicted to drugs. So I've always had to 309 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: take care of my mom or go to the bank 310 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: or you know, do just thinks. So it was never 311 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: it was second nature to me. When people start approaching me, 312 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you're real cute, you're real beautiful. Okay, cool, 313 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't need you to tell me that. 314 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: But okay, so now what like what you're gonna do? Right, 315 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: And so just at the end of the day, what 316 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: it comes down to is that if somebody else ain't 317 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: gonna meet my needs like the proper way, and I'm 318 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: asking for assistance and you're not going to assist me. Cool, 319 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: don't worry about it, right, So I think that's how 320 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: it did. It really was like I'm not waiting for 321 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: y'all tell us about the transition when you was like, okay, 322 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: you know what, I can probably make this into a business, 323 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: like you put you finally put the term on I'm 324 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: a full service sex worker. Like what was that transition? 325 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: Because I know you said you had a website or 326 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: a back page. Yeah, you always you always hear about 327 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: like as I gotten older, going through high school, like 328 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: you always heard about backpage and Craigslist. All these girls 329 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: on backpage and Craigslist. So I'm like, all right, that's 330 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: a Craiglist was booming too. Everything. Okay, So then once 331 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: you get on there, like once you start looking at 332 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: the post, it's not that hard. Like people make it 333 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: seem like it takes a genius for you to do this, 334 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: and it really don't, like it take a genius for 335 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: you to finesse your money really, like you know, get 336 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: the what you need to not get bamboozled by like 337 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: people who are time wastes like that takes finesse, but 338 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: you just the act of you posting does not make 339 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: a lot of effort. It's just it is what it is. 340 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: So I think that at that point, when I start 341 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: posting my stuff or whatever, it was just regular deglars 342 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: like selfies I would take and it'd be people like, oh, 343 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: I want to meet up with you, I want to 344 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: link with you. Okay, well this is the services I 345 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: really think about, Like what are these other girls offering? 346 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: So I look at they owes and it's like, okay, 347 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: you offer this and tar right, like how they work 348 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: they stuff because like they don't put like, oh, my 349 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: stuff is two hundred dollars, it'd be like my stuff 350 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: is two hundred roses for a half a dozen of roses, 351 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: which means thirty minutes. So oh, having to learn how 352 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: to word your stuff so that you're not flagging your 353 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: stuff for police, but also in your content when you're 354 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: doing things like Backpage and Craigflist, you already getting flags 355 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: from the police because they looking for a low level, 356 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: easy fruit for them to, you know, to do a suite. 357 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: So you're already kind of flagging yourself for the police. 358 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: But it's in a way that there's so many people 359 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: that like you probably like one of a dozen. And 360 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: that's also why you have to be mindful of how 361 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: you talk on the phone. You have to be mindful 362 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: of the way you talk on text. You gotta be 363 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: mindful of who you're meeting up with them. You gotta 364 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: be on point because you never know it could be 365 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: a setup. Right, So it's just like you have to learn. 366 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: You have to learn what what like a skeptical situation 367 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: look like and be able to avoid them. So I mean, 368 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: like that's just that comes with the finesse part and 369 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: really doing your research about the clients that are contacting you. 370 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: There are methods for folks to screen their clients, not 371 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: ones I'm willing to give up willingly, but they're to 372 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: do that resource of your client, and people do have 373 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: like people who are a little bit more privileged in 374 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: the industry will ask for you know, credentials that you know, 375 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: I need to know your bank account information, I need 376 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: to know your idea to make sure that you are you. Yeah, 377 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: So there's people who do have a little bit more 378 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: time and energy and money to do that who will 379 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: which is why when we talk about survival sex work. 380 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: It's really unique because you have to go off and 381 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: spend you can't not fin to ask nobody for their 382 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 1: license and scare them away because that might be your 383 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: rent money, that might be whatever you need. Like you 384 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: don't know what that's going to happen. Right, What did 385 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: a busy week look like for you? I think I 386 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: saying what you I've seen what you look like. Ye, 387 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: so you're pretty unice and to critique, so like I 388 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: can only imagine, especially like when you were younger, Like 389 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure guys, was like on it. It was. 390 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: It was interesting because like most of my time like spent, 391 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: and I don't think I ever really did. I stopped 392 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: doing short calls, which is like thirty minutes or less. 393 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: I stopped doing them because like I just felt like 394 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: it was a waste of my energy, even though produce 395 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: a good amount of money, but short what is it 396 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: short calls? Yeah, so like half hour or less calls. 397 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: But it was just a waste of my time because 398 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: it took me energy to get their energy to get 399 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: back all this sort of stuff. So, right, so busy 400 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: it typically I would see two or three clients a night, 401 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: depending on what was going on. My busiest times was 402 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: always weekends, Fridays when people getting paid and stuff like that. 403 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: How much would you say you bought home a week 404 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: like on a good week, Like on a good week, 405 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: I can I can make a thousand and more and 406 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: a few nights, like depending on what I'm doing or 407 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, or my attitude. Because that was like 408 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: they have review boards and so people used to review 409 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: me about me having the worst attitude. But it's not 410 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: real me having an attitude. It's just my that's just 411 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: like you got to understand where I'm from. Everybody act 412 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: like this is not news, Like right, I know where 413 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: you're from. So yeah, it's like that's just who you are, 414 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: like reality. So it's just like, bro, I don't know 415 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: what to tell you, Like, it's not me being nasty. 416 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: I'm just it's just how we give it up from 417 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: where I'm You ask for girlfriend experience, you want me 418 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: to be somebody else, and you need to say that. Man, 419 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: that's so funny. So I told you we had an 420 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: impact on my business because people were like, oh, you're 421 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: like you're not really friendly, and I'm like, it's not 422 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: that friendly. Just you already know why I'm here like 423 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: my damn, so you was you was probably bringing home 424 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: like what three g's a week a week. It really 425 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: just depends because I was also going to school also 426 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: like happy mom. So it's like it really just depends 427 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: on the time that I'm willing to dedicate to it. 428 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: But if I'm willing to go Fullnald, yeah I can 429 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: make three g's no problem. Damn. So a month was 430 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: the like twelve thousand, it could have between twelve fifteen thousand. Yeah, 431 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: But I don't think I've ever pushed that hard, like 432 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: once I get a certain amount of money, so that 433 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: I had rules right when we were rule yeah, will 434 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: always get you locked, no problem. So I don't ever 435 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: try to over push my boundaries. Like if I've seen 436 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: a couple of people and I'm good for the week, 437 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna push my luck and keep doing it. 438 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: Because every time you go out there's a gamble. You 439 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: don't know who you mean up with. It could be 440 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: next time you get locked, can be violence. You don't 441 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. So I never used to like 442 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: go full thought and just hold the whole week. I 443 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: don't we don't do that. I take what I hear 444 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: and cold the day. Everybody else can have that, and 445 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: that was just me and that I've always been like that, 446 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: regardless of what it was, whether it was legal or not. 447 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm just not that type of person to be like, 448 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: not I will all your ship. Not that's you get 449 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: caught up, so you gotta take in the strides. And 450 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: all money ain't good. Money don't work when you're time, Like, yeah, 451 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: that's it you're gonna apply to right now, Yeah, that's right. 452 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: And it's just it's just for me, Like I think 453 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: because I've been exposed to a lot of different types 454 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: of work environment and me being a black person, I've 455 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: always recognized that regardless of what I do, I'm still 456 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: spiritual being at the center of it. So like my spirit, 457 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: like me being able to give myself to the world 458 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: and need to give myself to my kids, like I 459 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: have to be mindful that my energy, my spirit, my vibes. 460 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: You got to really keep yourself together. And so when 461 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: you're doing this work, I am a different person while 462 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm doing this work. I'm not the same person who's 463 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: gonna walk out your apartment, I promise you. And once 464 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: I leave your apartment, I no longer think about you. 465 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: You're not a thing, right, So it's a job, right job, 466 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: and so I got to be mindful. But you walking 467 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: in when you're having sex with people, you inviting the 468 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: energies into you. When you and somebody inviting their energies 469 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: into you, when you're dealing with certain people, you inviting 470 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the energies into you. So I'm not I'm not the 471 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: type of person that just take take, take, because at 472 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day then I don't got nothing to give. 473 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: What were some of the challenges you face while working? 474 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: People are very racist?

Like if I go up there 553 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: and don't come down in thirty minutes or whatever the 554 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: time is, you need to come up there and get me, 555 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: don't even play. And then you had drivers. Yeah, I'm 556 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: much rather be locked up than dead, So you gotta 557 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: call the cops. Call the cops. It just is what 558 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I had drivers just because like it 559 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: made it easier for me to get to my calls. 560 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: They was getting read off each call, so they didn't 561 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: really care sitting in the car with me all night. 562 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: And then also at least somebody know where the fuck 563 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm at. Yeah. But also like as I transitioned out 564 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: and started doing more advocacy work and stuff like that, 565 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I learned that, like if I call somebody and tell 566 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: them I'm at this location, they can charge with being 567 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: They can be charged with my trafficker just because they 568 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: know where I'm at and they didn't say nothing, right, 569 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: So they play a part in it too. Yeah, So 570 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's the ways of keeping communities isolated. And 571 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: that's why I say it's so dangerous because like we 572 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: can't even communicate with each other, you know. And now 573 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: there's like even more laws like SUSA foster that is 574 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: like going after platforms, so things like Venmo and PayPal, 575 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: uh wow, you know Microsoft, all of those things are 576 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: now like banning and shutting down sex worker ways that 577 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: sex workers keep each other safe. And it's not a 578 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: good look. So you know, that's just that's the criminalized 579 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: side of it. Like even those who are most privileged, 580 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: privileged might not be able to use certain some of 581 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: their platforms just because of the new laws and stuff 582 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: like that. So was there every time that you was 583 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: catching phillips for one of your clients. Not at all. 584 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: I hate every last one of my clients.

There's my experiences here 655 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: would definitely be a part of it, but it's not 656 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: for everything. Like you know, I have shit to do. 657 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: But if people, if the world made much easier, people 658 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: would not do the sex industry as often as they do. 659 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: If you made fucking college free or affordable, or housing 660 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: free or affordable, if you made you just made affordable, 661 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: we would not have to worry about so much trafficking 662 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: and so much violence and so much harm because people 663 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: would be able to get the things that they fucking 664 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: need to live, and you wouldn't have to worry about 665 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: making these daily choices. And the people who truly choose 666 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: to do this work can do it in a way 667 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: that makes sense for them. But because that's not the 668 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: society be living, you're only going to see it in flux. 669 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: You're only going to see it going up, regardless of 670 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: what kind of laws and bills that people put in place. 671 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: That shit don't mean nothing to nobody. When you have 672 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 1: rent to pay, or mouths to feed or places to stay, 673 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: that should don't mean nothing. And our body right. So, last, 674 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: but not least, what's some advice you would give to 675 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: our listeners who might be interested in working in the 676 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: sex industry. Be working in the sex industry. They might 677 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: want to be a sex worker because that's just But 678 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: if you are a client of a sex worker, pay 679 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: your sex workers, your sex workers. That's likes that listen 680 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: to the show. Get tested, right, really, And also just 681 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: because you come up with test results, don't mean I'm 682 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: going to fuck you for free. Because that test result 683 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: is from three months ago. I heard they'd be doing it. 684 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: They'd be making the hostake too. It doesn't matter if 685 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: you right now. If you go get tested and you 686 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: are negative for HIV, your test result today is negative 687 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: from three months ago. There's a window period, So unless 688 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: you haven't had sex in the last three months, I 689 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: don't want to hear it about your negative result a right. 690 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: And also, HIV ain't the worst than you can get 691 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: out there, trust like well those worst HIV. HIV is 692 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: very manageable, very livable. People live full, healthy lives with HIV. 693 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: They also can come become undetectable with medications HIV and 694 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: she is undetectable and her fyance. You could take a 695 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: hab and all together. That is not the worst thing 696 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 1: you can get it. But let you get some fucking 697 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: syphilis where it make you infertile, or get some dm 698 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: gnnerhe or you can't like your body is resistant to 699 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: the drugs and you gotta live with them symptoms that 700 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: ship or even things that aren't sexually transmitted diseases like 701 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: bacterial ivaginosis from having sex or like condoms can suck 702 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: up your pH That ship is fucking worse. Like listen, 703 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: HIV is definitely not the worst thing that you can get, 704 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: and it's not HIV is a manageable, livable, you know, 705 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: infection that you get. But let you come up with 706 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: some gunnery that's untreated or syphilist or being gonna blind 707 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: because you don't have untreated whatever. Knowing, So one more question, 708 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: do you think that things would have been different for 709 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 1: any different for you growing up? Do you think things 710 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: would have been different? Now, Yeah, I think I don't. 711 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: I don't really know. I mean I think that if 712 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: there was a lot of life, do you ever think 713 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: about it? I think that if I had the proper support, 714 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: even like I've given like my life circumstances, if I 715 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: had the proper support as a young mom, I think 716 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: definitely life would have been different. But you know where 717 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 1: I come from, being a young mom is like is 718 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: like the worst thing that can happen to you. There 719 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: was as all over the place that's talking about one 720 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: in five teen moms babies don't graduate from high school, like, yeah, 721 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 1: because you don't make it accessible to them. So it's 722 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: just like if I feel like, if I had the 723 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: proper support around being able to earn a livable income 724 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 1: with my children and go to school, yeah, I think 725 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: that life could have been different, or even just properly 726 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: giving people sexual education, so I wouldn't have had three kids. 727 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: But you just teach people not to get pregnant. That 728 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: also works without giving them all types of hormones and 729 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: stuff into their bodies. So I think that definitely made 730 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: a difference in my life. But yeah, just big services, supportive, 731 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: make livable fucking income. Nobody should be living off it. 732 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: Even now today, fifteen thousand an hour doesn't do shit 733 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: for nobody where I live a goddamn thing, not with 734 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: no four thousand dollars rent, three thousand dollars rent. Yeah, okay, 735 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's the only thing that I can 736 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: see for changing. But in general, like, I just think 737 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: that a lot of things have been overlooked in my lifetime, 738 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: and then when it got to the end, everybody like, 739 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe really, you can't fucking 740 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: believe it. Neither can I are. So I think that. Yeah, So, 741 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: I think the life lesson out of all this is 742 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: there's nothing in the world floating out there about me 743 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: died and put out there intentionally. People ain't going to 744 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: research shit about me died and put it out there essentionally. 745 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: Everything out here that's too fine about me is known already. 746 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: It's a known fact. And if you don't know, then 747 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: clearly you don't give a fuck about me because you 748 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: would have known. So. Yeah, so, I just think that 749 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: if anything, things that I learned from the sex industry 750 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 1: was to be comfortable and who I am that regardless 751 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: of what I yeah, I'm comfortable. Who I am and 752 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: everything I offer to this world is a value period. 753 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: Whether it's my pussy or on my mouth, it doesn't 754 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: matter my words. Whatever the fuck I produce in this 755 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: world is a value in regardless of my skin color, 756 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: regardless of my background, regardless of what I do or 757 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: how I earned it. It's a value. So, if I 758 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: had to tell anybody who's in the sex industry, you 759 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: still valuable. You deserve to live, You deserve to be 760 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: loved and cared about, and deserve to be seen as human, 761 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: so fuck everybody else and Nope.
