I haven't introduced myself, yet
My name is Divya. I'm from Texas, but I went to school on scholarship at CU (University of Colorado.) I currently live in Atlanta, where I am a professional dancer (not a stripper.) I'm applying to law school right now and hope to get a jd/msw by 2012. My goal: to open a chain of women's shelters that provide victim's of dv and their children with the appropriate tools to rebuild their lives.
I tried stripping once when I was a teenager as a last ditch effort to make some quick cash when I lived on the streets, but I wasn't mentally prepared. I guess, ever since then, I've always had some strange views on what the world of stripping really is. I guess I'm on this forum, because part of me wants to go through with it, not because I HAVE to anymore, but just to show myself that I can do it and it's not a big deal.
I think the sex industry breaks a lot of barriers if the participants have the proper mental frame about it. It really has the possibility of liberating a lot of people from social stigmas and providing a great outlet to explore sexuality (ah! taboo!)
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll ever meet any of you, but who knows, I wouldn't mind forming some great internet friendships!
