Raising Hell with Jacq the Stripper & Soldiers of Pole

For the 15th episode of Private Parts Unknown, your hosts Courtney Kocak & Sofiya Alexandra take you inside Raising Hell, a super sexy & informative event thrown by Soldiers of Pole, the California exotic dancers union that we featured in our very 1st episode! We get into the passage of California labor bill AB5, why strippers need the same protections & workers’ rights as other physically demanding jobs, the fact that sex work is work, how to undo the industry’s long-time stigma, the dope community these dancers have created for themselves & the isolation a lot of strippers experience when they 1st start out — plus, Jacq the Stripper tells a hilarious story about auditioning for strip club owners & so much more!
