I’m originally from Long Island and New York City. I’ve subsequently spent much of my life in the Greater Boston area. If you picture me as a product of the most innovative, provocative, and liberal of Northeast environs, then you’ve sized me up pretty well. I was born into the upper middle class, but my childhood was chaotic and tragic. By the time I reached my late teens, wealth---the only strong anchor in my otherwise traumatized world---had taken a nosedive, as well. On top of already contending with innumerable emotional woundings, this princess was forced to learn the ropes of upward mobility. At first, I didn’t have an inkling of how much poverty ruins. I made terrible financial and relationship choices that a working class soul never would. I became a divorced single mother of three with nothing and no one to aid me. My extreme naivete put me there. I had a relentless survivor drive, however, and was blessed with imagination, and Northeastern feministic balls.

Sex work came to me as power.
