I think it's important to understand that this is just a layer of the cake and of the experience, and this one in particular, as far as internalizing, as far as that goes back, is something that, once you are told you are something or treated a certain way for so long, you start to ask yourself: well, is it true?
Ever wondered what it's like to face racism in the strip club industry? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', host Leilah Feinstein, a white stripper, brings together four of her Black and Afro-Latinx colleagues—V, Tiffany, Chenelle, and Joy—for a candid panel discussion. These women share their personal stories, highlighting the deep-seated racism that permeates the strip club world.
They break down how the unique structure of the industry both protects and perpetuates discrimination, offering listeners a rare glimpse into their lived experiences. From the impact of misogynoir on Black strippers to the role of club management in either perpetuating or combating racism, this conversation is raw and thought-provoking.
The emotional toll that racism takes on mental health and well-being is also laid bare, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intersection of race and sex work. The guests don't just share their struggles; they also offer actionable steps for creating a more equitable industry.
As one guest poignantly asks, 'Once you are told you are something or treated a certain way for so long, you start to ask yourself: well, is it true?' This episode isn't just about exposing problems; it's about rallying together to dismantle harmful systems and restore the sex industry to those who rightfully belong at its center—especially Black sex workers. Tune in for an engaging, transformative discussion that challenges you to think differently about racism in the strip club industry.
Whether you're a stripper or a civilian, there's something to learn from these powerful voices.
