Elle Stanger

Elle Stanger is one of my favorite people in the community. Everything she does is not only incredibly well worded and thoughtful, but she also has a voice that carries and resonates in your head. Elle has a completely unique outlook and approach on life. It makes me proud she chose to create such a nurturing and welcoming space for everyone in this industry. If you don’t know who she is or what she does- you will by the end of this post!

One of the main things to adore about Elle is how much she does for dancer’s voices to be heard. The AB5 bill was first brought to my attention via one of her posts, as she was published in HuffPost after the infamous JLo Super Bowl Halftime show. When she received an email from Deja Vu’s headquarters because of this article, she asked for feedback from the Dynamex affected dancer community instead of answering them and sending it. What an amazing woman to be giving these dancers a chance to have each of their voices heard without hesitation.

Her podcast Strange Bedfellows is all the juicy, grab-a-pillow-and-get-comfy conversations you have with your friends.. amplified. No topics are off limits and can range from HPV, pushy clients, police corruption and decriminalizing sex work. Since airing on 6/4/2018 there have been so many informative and incredible episodes, picking out a favorite is hard for me. I do enjoy her recent episodes with Jon, season 2 host, as the dynamic between the two is always fairly contrasted. When you join two minds from two completely different standpoints the chemistry is always electric.

However there is truly no right or wrong choice as each episode brings the audience such a different message and mindset once it concludes. If you are looking for a great source of sex work education, community and so much more we invite you to explore all that is Elle Stanger. Whether it is her Instagram, Podcast or her own written content there is a side of her you will appreciate and love just as much as we do!
