The $tripped Project
The $tripped Project is a sex worker–led platform for radical education, cultural accountability, and collective liberation.
We were born out of necessity, created in direct response to the ongoing erasure, censorship, and exploitation of sex workers’ labor, language, and aesthetics by those who profit from our culture without credit, context, or care.
What started as a self-published zine has grown into a living archive and grassroots movement.
We:
Host donation-based workshops led by sex workers across the globe
Produce infographics and community tools that unpack history, systems, and survival
Offer free sponsored spots to sex workers through civilian-funded mutual aid
Create immersive, affirming learning spaces, online and in person
Provide mentorship, business education, and future pathways for SW’ers through our evolving Stripped Academy
We center the voices of Black, trans, queer, undocumented, disabled, and formerly incarcerated sex workers, because even within our own community, these voices are too often silenced or sidelined.
We’re not here to glamorize or sanitize this industry.
We’re here to tell the truth, protect our stories, and build the future we deserve, together.
The $tripped Project exists to:
Document our histories in real time
Redistribute power and resources
Create liberatory tools by and for our community
And offer the kind of education that doesn’t require respectability to access
This isn’t just about representation.
It’s about rematriation. Reclamation. Revolution.
Because Revolution is sexy.
The Whisper Library
A permanent archive of our voices.
Affirmations, rituals, and truths, spoken by sex workers, for sex workers. It’s lived experience, storytelling, facts, cited surveys, poems, education, and entertainment, all in one place.
Words to keep us steady, connected, and remembered.
Enter the library and hear the first tracks.
Meet the Founder
A body celebrated for it's sex appeal, built on survival.
I founded The $tripped Project because I lived the gap. Civilians took from our culture without credit, while sex workers like me were left erased, deplatformed, and without community. I built this platform to change that, to make sure our knowledge is preserved, our survival is resourced, and our voices can’t be silenced. I’m not here to make sex work “cute.” I’m here to make it sacred. To build spaces where we’re not punished for who we are, but supported in what we already know: how to survive, how to create, how to lead. This project isn’t just about me, it’s about us. Every class, every sponsored spot, every redistribution is another step toward a future where sex workers can’t be erased.
The Future of $tripped
Building what we’ve been missing.
The $tripped Project isn’t just workshops. It’s a blueprint for survival, education, and culture that can’t be erased. We’re building more than classes, we’re creating spaces where sex workers can learn, archive, and thrive together. Here’s what’s in motion:
The $tripped Academy
A peer-led pilot program designed to give sex workers real world tools for sustainability, transition, and healing.
Sex workers are often excluded from traditional education and career programs, especially those of us who are Black, trans, undocumented, disabled, or formerly incarcerated. Stripped Academy is our answer: one cohort at a time, centering business tools, body care, career pathways like doula certification, and peer mentorship.
