    Episode 137: Freaky for Freedom w/ Jules

    This week, Jules shares her remarkable journey from being in a cult to becoming a sex-positive advocate and activist. We explore topics like sex work, advocacy, and the importance of community and unity in fighting for rights. Originally from Baltimore Jules’ (she/her) formative years were spent in a Christian cult that left deeply rooted shame about sex. Thanks to therapeutic intervention she worked as a full time escort in our nation’s capital. Fast forward several years and Jules had the privilege of traveling to Kolkata India to meet with sex workers and the organizations competing to empower them or to save them. Jules is passionate about sexual freedom in a world leaning dangerously towards Christian authoritarianism. Connect with Jules Instagram: Julesinthebox Let's Connect!
