Summary

This isn’t about proving your worth or becoming respectable. It’s about protecting your time, energy, and labor—and giving you the tools to define success on your own terms.

Description


Beyond the Hustle: Peer Support for SxW

A monthly support and skill-sharing circle for current and former sex workers—designed to hold space for rest, real talk, resources, and solidarity. Whether you're full-service, content-based, or anywhere in between, this space is for you. Each session includes an optional topic, open discussion, and shared resource time. Whether you’re new, experienced, active, or retired, you are welcome here.

No bosses. No performative wellness. No judgement. Just peers helping peers, one story and strategy at a time.

WHAT WE’LL HAVE FOR YOU!

  • Drinks! The bar will be open with a variety of sodas and mocktails to quench your thirst!

  • Snacks! When the urge to snack hits you, we've got you covered! As always, our signature merch is always available!

  • Comfy Spots! Places to sit and chill! Floor Pillows! Relaxing chairs. No shoes required (but you do you, boo)

  • New friends! We're the coolest spot in the city and it's all because of the cool folks that call this place home.

  • Empowerment in education! We provide educational offerings that are fundamentally anti-racist, anti-colonial, anti-stigma and aimed to provide knowledge that arms you for living.


VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system, and a tight-knit center of empowerment. 

By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you're part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

We're committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences. Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
