I just came across this article on Dr. Maya Angelou and her previous sex work history. I thought it was a really interesting read, and how she was very open about talking about her past, but the stigma about being a sex worker in our society is so strong that others decided to hide it for her and make it a secret. It reminded me a lot of the readings we did on
Xtravaganza and Del Rio.
