Being a Boudoir Bombshell with Shalista Anderson | Ep.17

Owner of Sioux Falls premier Boudoir Photography studio joins us to discuss the naked truth of being in the sexual empowerment business in conservative South Dakota. We discuss how she handles the stigma of her profession and why she continues to push for every woman's right to feel beautiful and confident in her own skin.  Shalista Anderson shares exactly how she grows her facebook following (which is now one of the largest womens groups in the city) and what topics get her members the most fired up! Georgia asks Shalista to spill the beans on how she manages to stay on the right side of the algorithms while still posting such sensual photos - seriously check out @siouxfallsboudoir on instagram - it's HOT!) and what she recommends other business owners do if they are struggling to market themselves in a sensitive niche.  We also hear from CTV and Global News correspondents on the case of Robyn Ingraham, a political candidate who was removed from the ballot when her boudoir photos started circulating just days before the election. This happened just last year, in Nova Scotia, and Eleanor Fast from Equal Voice Canada describes how these double standards could be even more damaging than we first think.  - - - - - Shalista Anderson is a portrait photographer with 19+ years experience specializing in boudoir photography.

I grew up in a tiny, conservative town and have now grown my business to photographing thousands of women and producing multiple six figures in revenue per year.
