7. Molly Morey
from All In A Day's (Sex) Work Hosted by Blair Hopkins
The Courageous Heart of Molly Morey: Molly leaned on dancing to get by after ending the relationship with her oldest child’s father and discovered that she truly loved it. As a young and newly-sober mother, the opportunity to get paid to doll up and socialize was invaluable to her mental health and self esteem. Sadly, a lack of worker protections from predatory male management ran her out of the industry. Today Molly and I talk about her fond memories from that now-former life, her sadness that some scumbag sucked the wind out of her sails, and how she found meaning and joy again in harm reduction, specializing in outreach to street-based sex workers at her hometown syringe echange. Today's episode was produced by me, Blair Hopkins, and brought to you in part by SWOP-Behind Bars. Music by New Orleans' own Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes.
