Straight Talk With Storm Apr 30, 2020
Stop Letting Clients Drive your Rates
In this episode I discuss something I am seeing a lot as a web designer. A sense of panic amongst providers that is making them allow clients to "drive" their rate boundaries.
In this podcast episode I discuss why that is so detrimental to your business structure and explain how it also confuses your client base.
Staying Empowered and safe!
Hello, it has been a long time since I podcasted. This is a very brief ( 15 min episode) But it is an important one. I hope you will take a listen. I wanted to discuss staying empowered to stay safe and to not forget to have a voice. You may be able to save the next companion from trouble. Each one Teach one!
Lessons For Sex Workers to learn from the Moriah Mills Drama
I know I am so late doing this episode. I was originally planning on doing this episode when we were all in the thick of this story. But life got in the way. But I decided the lessons within the story were still important enough to discuss.
You should never become so dic*mitized that you mess up your big bag. I realize the young lady is a Porn Star and "hip hop artist" but when a relationship begins with "you are my fantasy girl and I want to take care of you" ... YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS.
Play the role,( if mentally strong enough to) and GET TO THE BAG SIS!
We gotta talk about it!
I also touch briefly at the end of the episode on WIX websites and SW.
Take a listen!
Mental health | Listen and learn
Hello from Storm.
Please take the time to listen with open heart and mind to the episode where I fully explain mental health issues, my own personal journey and ask the public to take mental illness of those around you seriously.
You never know what your clients and other sex workers may be dealing with so please use empathy and try to pay close attention to the signs.
Your clients and other sex workers may be going through something and this industry causes them to not be able to publicly be transparent so be kind to one another.
Thriving and truly LIVING and loving in Sex work and Pick me Mean Girl Online Culture
Hey there! It's me Storm back again. On todays episode which I hope you will listen to an enjoy, I talk briefly about my wedding and being married. But mainly I go back to those age old arguments about can you have real love and relationships in sex work and give my honest opinion of what it takes to sustain it, IF you want it. All relationships are work and the ones in sex work are even more complicated.
I also get into how you should not let the opinions of others (clients or others) change what you want in your LIFE. Remember your job is NOT your life. If it is then that is something you really need to examine as we all need to have grace and remember we are human first. Get to the bag without sacrificing yourself and your happiness.
Then we move on to the topic of all the transphobia, classism and body and persona shaming of "pick me please" Twitter!
Listen and learn, but most of all ENJOY!
Ep : 150 It's All In the Name! What to call your gents?
I saw another lady on Twitter speaking on this debate I guess I have missed of how clients feel about being called....Clients.
I decided to offer my perspective on "words" "terms" and individual perceptions of them. In this industry we all have terms we either like or hate. Those terms change often as do places to advertise, new trends, life. Is the word client a bad term or do men simply hate it because it reminds them of the situation and the boundaries that come with it? Let's discuss.

STORM THE ASSISTANT ON ASSISTING
I recently came across some lies, foolery etc from a hater regarding my assistant service. One thing about me .. I am going to give it up honest, real and authentic. I keep receipts and my site clearly CLEARLY outlines all guidelines and terms and conditions prior to hiring me. I also always have a verbal conversation detailing it all as well. Therefore here should be no confusion. I blackmail no one, I simply stick my my very easily read terms and conditions.
I would never ever ever harm a sex worker. Some of you just do not care about being safe and would rather have an assistant who is more concerned with money than safety. I am not that assistant. I care about both but safety is first with me. With me if nothing else, you know I truly have your back.
Give this a listen. Hopefully it clears up any BS.

In the words of Anthony Hamilton from the Song Coming From Where I'm From
" Sometimes it gets rough
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Times got hard
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta walk to work
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Sometimes you gotta do a little dirt
Comin' from where I'm from, I'm from"
Episode 54| Heather Strong of LA and I talk about how things are going in California
The Shock of the level of Racism in my childhood town in Maryland
I had no idea growing up that so many of the kids and people I later grew up to be friends with in High School had experienced so much racism.
I honestly did not. I saw it , but wasn't ever affected like them till I moved to the good ole South.
I guess my families "financial and social class" made people treat us differently.
I also am sorry to hear that it seems its gotten much worse since me leaving there in 2001 when we moved to Baltimore where my two youngest kids were born and where my kids who are adults did most of their growing up.
Even we as black people are learning more and can learn more.
Racism is likely to never end, but we definitely have to have more order, and laws to protect us from it!

Episode 55 | CNN article on Covid and sex work and The Critic UK article on Sex work
I discuss two recent articles on Sex work one from CNN that offers an open door portal into what sex work is adjusting to and dealing w during covid and another article that’s pure ESCORT AND CLIENT HATRED from a writer by the name of Julie Bindel. That article was found in The Critic a UK based paper.
