My career in sex work has been complicated, but it’s absolutely intertwined with motherhood.

Podcasting is an excellent medium for talking about sex work. It can give us an intimate entry into the life of the presenter, with all those tiny details, such as mannerisms and sense of humour, that may not carry over into text.

Whenever my job is mentioned in newspapers, blogs, or magazines, the same tropes tend to pop up: moral panic, drug abuse, violence. Journalists quote us selectively, so that it sounds as if we’re living out the sex-negative, whorephobic stereotypes the public are used to consuming.

Are you friends with a sex worker? Here’s what being a bestie - and an ally - really means.

Sex work allowed me to experience times without financially struggling which is something I was not used to.
