This fetish desires me...

The text chooses me, by a whole disposition of invisible screens, selective baffles...and, lost in the midst of the text (not behind it like deus ex machina) there is always the other, the Author.
-Roland Barthes The Pleasure of the Text
Dear Reader,

I am a Mother, writer/producer/artist, s3x worker, and I have been a  BDSM practitioner for over 30 years. As a long time Sex Worker Rights activist, my work has been recognized by Spike Lee in his tribute to Jackie Robinson as one of the current Impact Activists. I am a core organizer of Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective that advocates for sex work decriminalization & protective policies and provides resources to the migrant massage parlor workers of Flushing, Queens NY.
As founding member of Kink Out, I've helped bring sex worker and kink positive art and education to museums such as NY Performance Space, The Whitney Museum, Leslie Lohman, MoMA PS1, and MoCA LA. 

​

My website is a collection of personal essays and fleeting thoughts, some polished and published, others rough, raw, and exposed only to the eyes that seek them here.

With tender, leather heart,
