What are people saying...

"YAS Podcast has been an invaluable resource for me on several levels. Educating me so I understood my internalised whorephobia, how best to support SWers as a pole studio owner, as well as preparing me for the realities of working in clubs myself when it became necessary. It also gave great insight into workers rights and organising, leading me to become involved with the UK's SW Union. Together with the union, local Scottish dancers successfully overturned the ban on Edinburgh strip clubs in 2024. I'm very grateful for YAS highlighting the knowledge and resilience of of SWs, the impact you've had is tremendous."

“AM provided an extremely chill space for me as I confided in them about my own sex work advocacy. They were patient with me as I described the complex situations I was dealing with and was able to diplomatically reflect back to me about it, drawing from their own experiences but still keeping things simple.”

~ Katie in the Storm

“I really enjoyed listening to AM’s presentation and the importance of resisting whorephobia at the Low-Flow Summit. I knew that this video was super important but I didn’t know that it would actually give me perspective on what was happening around me.”
