Today I am joined by my friend and colleague, Bishop Black. We discuss what Bishop has faced as a bisexual POC in the industry, the difference between mainstream and "ethical" porn, and how Bishop has sustained their long and illustrious career in the porn industry.

They've been active in the porn scene for over 10 years and have worked with directors and studios such as Bruce LaBruce, Erika Lust, HardWerk, JoyBear, and more. They recently starred in the film The Visitor, which premiered at the Berlinale this year.

In 2017, I was given a 5 year ban from the USA - which then turned into a 10 year ban, which then turned into an indefinite ban. I'm giving you the full story on exactly how it happened, and the aftermath I've faced, plus details on how the US border brutally discriminates against sex workers.
*I'd like to note - I meant to mention this in the episode but it slipped my mind - my experience was incredibly privileged as far as US border horror stories go. As a white woman I did not experience nearly the level of discrimination, harassment, and violence that other visitors and immigrants experience every day at the hands of border agents. I am thankful my experience was not worse than it was, and my heart goes out to those experiencing worse injustices.

How has sex work affected my dating life? Having been in and out of the adult industry for 8 years, it's had an impact on all of my serious relationships as an adult. I'm sharing all about my recent ex who hated that I was a sex worker, my current dating life with men who don't have problems with what I do, as well as my overall thoughts on how people tend to discuss dating sex workers. At the end of the episode I respond to an Instagram message from a fan who doesn't want to pay for my services, but hopes to date me for free.

I'm bringing you inside the strip club! I worked as a stripper for around 4 months, and although my time in the club was short, my stories are enough for a lifetime. I kept a detailed diary of all my working nights at the club, and I've never shared it with anyone - until now. I'm reading out the entire diary, which includes some crazy stories (like the former owner falling in love with me because I looked like his dead wife). I'm also giving you entire the low-down on the behind-the-scenes of strip clubs and what it's like to work in this industry.
