Phobia is resistance, that is rebellion, it is, that is an act of self liberation and of mutual liberation.
Ever thought about the hidden biases in belly dance and pole dance? In this thought-provoking episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa sit down with Tanesha, a fellow advocate in the world of erotic movement, to shine a light on racism and anti-sex worker stigma that often go unnoticed in these dance forms.
Tanesha brings her unique perspective to the table, discussing how the popularity of dances like belly dance, pole dance, twerk, and dancehall often sees power concentrated in the hands of white women, sidelining the cultural originators of these art forms. The conversation dives deep into the cultural appropriation within these industries and how it perpetuates systemic oppression.
They don't just stop at identifying the problems; they also explore solutions like the decriminalization of sex work and the importance of creating safe, inclusive spaces for dancers of color. Tanesha shares her insights on how businesses can take cultural considerations into account and the necessity of reparations to address societal inequalities. The episode also touches on the liberating power of informed consent and the choice to engage in sex work as an act of self and mutual liberation.
If you're ready to challenge your assumptions and learn about the intersection of race, stigma, and erotic dance, this episode is a must-listen.
