A Stripper's Guide Podcast
A Stripper’s Guide Podcast highlights the ways that sex workers, femmes, queer folks, and women have to contend with systemic oppressors in our daily lives, and how that affects everything from our intimate relationships and our careers to our mental health and our physical safety.
This show does tackle some heady topics in here, but don't worry -- I also know how to keep you entertained. I’m a stripper, after all ;)
A Stripper's Guide is a multimedia support platform for sex workers and femmes, founded in 2020 by Leilah Feinstein.

Decolonizing Stripper Dance: a panel discussion
Stripper dance, just like the strip club industry, is rife with cultural appropriation. Because we live in a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, the appropriation of BIPOC dances, specifically within the strip club industry, which actively disenfranchises BIPOC strippers (particularly & especially Black strippers), is nothing short of an act of cultural and interpersonal violence.
This panel discussion includes four guests: Joy, a black stripper/pole dancer; dancehall queen Hershey (also searchable: bliss_movements617); Jamaican dancer, author, and DJ Bianca Rose [aka Bianca Star]; and Moroccan dancer/Raqs Sharqi dancer Soumaya MaRose.
