As a final project for Dr. Mary Shearman's GSWS 320: Sex Work - local issues in a global context, class, Caroline Doerksen, Micaela Evans, Carol Leung, Madi Pomreinke and Xizi Wang produced the radio documentary series 'I'm A Sex Woker'. This radio documentary is rooted in politics of decriminalization and comes from a sex work-is-work understanding. The intention of the radio documentary is for community media space to be utilized in sharing stories and creating new forms of knowledge production. This is part one of our radio documentary series, that features Angela and Carmen. Tune in next week to hear part two, featuring dominatrix Ms Erica.
