All of that is clearly kind of a depiction of how disposable we are and why it's so important to highlight Asian femmes experiences.
Feminist movements often overlook the very voices they claim to uplift, especially those of Asian sex workers and femmes of color. In this compelling episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', Leilah and Erica sit down with Dr. Connie Wun, a researcher, author, educator, and former sex worker. Dr. Wun brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table, discussing why it's crucial to include Asian femmes in the feminist struggle for universal liberation.
She sheds light on the racism and anti-immigrant sentiments that persist even within sex worker communities, highlighting the additional layers of oppression faced by Asian sex workers. Through heartfelt conversation, Leilah, Erica, and Dr. Wun explore the intersectionality of race, sex work, and feminism. They don't shy away from tough topics like the invisibility and disposability of Asian femmes in both the industry and society at large.
Personal anecdotes from the hosts about their own experiences with racism and violence in strip clubs further underscore the need for collective responsibility and support. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action. If you're keen on understanding how systemic oppressions intertwine and what can be done to foster inclusivity within feminist movements, this episode is a must-listen. Join Leilah and Erica for a raw, engaging, and eye-opening discussion that challenges you to rethink feminism's boundaries.
