Accessories – San Jose

I started my Etsy shop with a single goal in mind: to gain exposure to start my collective, which will focus on Reclaiming the label Whore to Empower Women and help manifest Gender Equality. I plan to create a collective of like minded, predominately female artists in an effort to support sex workers and victims of slut bashing through expressing our strength and individuality as sexually liberated individuals. My goal with this line of clothing, boards, and accessories is to fund my own sex worker solidarity chapter in Santa Cruz, CA, where prostitution is prevalent. I hope to taunt gender bias, to empower those suffering from slut bashing and labeling to reclaim their uniqueness and to know that they aren\'t alone. Everyone who wants to consent has the right to consent and vice versa, and no one should be oppressed by their personal decisions in life. I also hope to help people of all genders realize that they aren\'t freaks for expressing themselves, no matter how abnormal they may be. In my book, the more unique, the better. I want to shine light on these issues, convert stories of sadness into stories of strength, and inspire women all over the world to be the punky harbingers of change this modern world yearns to appreciate.
