What is $tripped Academy?
A place that's by us, for us.
We offer business training, sexual health education, movement workshops, and practical life planning; all grounded in the realities of people navigating life in, after, or beyond the sex trade.
Our focus is on strippers, dancers, sensual providers, and others who’ve been shut out of traditional schools and career programs.
Especially those facing housing instability, criminal records, or gaps in employment from survival work.
Here, those barriers don’t disqualify you,
they make you the reason this space exists.
