After a tragic loss in her teens, Jessica turned to drugs to deal with overwhelming guilt, and sex work to disassociate and become someone else. She worked for a decade in secret, after her parents reaction taught her that no one would ever accept her if she told them what she did.
Now, 10 years out of the industry, Jessica speaks candidly about the long term impacts of shame, stigma and bad experiences she faced during her time in the industry. She opens up about the hard work she had to do to accept herself and learn to love herself unconditionally
