SG Radio Feat. Members Of The Sex Worker Outreach Project – Sunday June 10th0

by Blogbot

This Sunday, June 10th at 10 PM PST, SuicideGirls Radio host Nicole Powers and co-host Moxi Suicide will be joined in studio by Jessie Nicole, Michelle, and Vanessa from LA’s Sex Workers Outreach Project for a panel discussion about the unique issues their clients face.

Sex Workers Outreach Project is a social justice network dedicated to ending violence and stigma against sex workers through education and advocacy. SWOP works to create a strong community of sex workers and allies to support each other and educate the public on the institutional harms committed against sex workers.

Sex workers are seldom afforded protection or recourse from violence because of the precarious relationship between sex work and law enforcement. Violence against sex workers is tolerated because of the stigma and myths that surround the sex industry. Only when those falsehoods are corrected and sex workers are legitimized will we be able to effectively prevent and minimize the harsh challenges of sex work.

SWOP-LA Panel Bios:

Jessie Nicole is the current director of Sex Workers Outreach Project – Los Angeles. Having experience as an activist, sex worker, and scholar, she tries to continually find intersections of social justice, pleasure, and studying. She lives with her partner in Los Angeles, and spends far too much time on the internet.

Michelle is a pro submissive. She is also a fetish lover. She has worked as an escort and as a webcam performer, but her preference is for Fetish/BDSM clubs and private parties. And although it’s not something she usually uses to introduce herself, she is multi-racial (black/white/Asian/Caribbean) and a transsexual woman.

Vanessa has worked in multiple erotic industries and been a sex worker of some kind for twelve years. She is a writer, PhD candidate at USC, radical activist and community organizer, and queer polyamorous woman who loves to discuss any of the terms that just appeared in her bio.
