gurls talk: sexuality and stripping
Model, actress, and cover star of i-D's Female Gaze Issue Adwoa Aboah is on a mission to get girls across the world to open up about mental health, body image, and sexuality through her project Gurls Talk. In our new three-part series, we travel with the young advocate to LA, to meet the city's strong and powerful women making a stand for change. In part two, Adwoa investigates the City of Angels' stripping scene; it's currently worth one billion dollars, and employs more women than ever before. Adwoa meets dancers Shay, Kasey, and Alabama to explore how they embrace their sexuality, why they have chosen this career, and dissect the stigma surrounding pole dancing.

But my basic math skills tell me that 1 Billion = 1,000 x 1,000,000. So am I to believe there are a thousand clubs there together averaging one million in annual revenue each?
I know, it's an average. But even if 100 were making several million a year it seems like an exaggerated number designed to create a headline.
