“We were taught to pick a career, go to university, get a degree, and find a good job. I couldn’t see how going to university and working for someone else would enable me to build the massive wealth I dreamed of. Meanwhile I was barely getting by. The whole idea of wealth seemed impossible to me. I quit university and started working in the sex industry so I could at least have a livable income.”

“I was a stereotype. My upbringing was poor. I had a broken family and an absent father. My mom was on social assistance. I didn’t have any healthy role models in my life. Some people might draw a straight line from my birth to the day I first took my clothes off for money, like it was inevitable.”
