Honestly Tho...Do Strippers Really Want Your Man or Their Money?

This week I'm joined by strippers and activists against censorship Redd and Sativah, who share their latest project "F*ck The Shadow Ban"  which aims to serve as a community for adult content, after experiencing shadow banning across social media platforms like Instagram. The ladies discuss how being shadow banned has affected their efforts in growing their pole dancing community and business opportunities as strippers. We pose the question of "who does shadow banning protect, and who is being affected by it?

They take me down their path on how they got into stripping, how it has helped their confidence and sensuality, and how being in the strip club and interacting with a wide range of men has shown them the difficulty men have with being vulnerable with the "close" people in their lives. Both Sativah and Redd feel like the strip club serves as safe space and fantasy land for some men based on the conversations they have had while dancing. 

We discuss what it's like being a stripper and how it has affected their relationship with their parents and family. Redd opens up about hiding that part of her for years to appease to her parents and finally having the courage to be transparent with them about what she does for a living. She explains the feeling of finally being "free" and living for herself and the joy that has brought her.

We close out the episode with what we've been listening to and has been on repeat for us, in which you will learn, none of us can sing or hold a note for that matter.
