January 2024: Racialised Sex Work

This episode is co-facilitated by our comrade Julian along with our co-host and Radio AvA regular Grey.
Race and sex are perpetually intertwined realms of human life.
We wish we could talk about everything today but the items we will be discussing now are the things we feel impact our current work. Being: a promiscuity associated with POC workers, age perceptions in different races, the racialisation of clients and critical whiteness studies.
