Sex Work

Owning the Narrative: Black Women, Sex Work & HIV Prevention

January 7, 2026

Sex work is work—but for Black women, it’s also layered with stigma, safety concerns, and systemic barriers. This episode dives into the lived realities of Black women in the industry, from navigating agency and empowerment to confronting criminalization, healthcare discrimination, and HIV risk. We explore how access to prevention tools like PrEP, regular testing, and supportive care can make a difference. It’s time to move beyond judgment and listen to the real stories, struggles, and victories of those who live it.
