Episode description

Stripper dance, just like the strip club industry, is rife with cultural appropriation. Because we live in a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, the appropriation of BIPOC dances, specifically within the strip club industry, which actively disenfranchises BIPOC strippers (particularly & especially Black strippers), is nothing short of an act of cultural and interpersonal violence.

This panel discussion includes four guests: Joy, a black stripper/pole dancer; dancehall queen Hershey (also searchable: bliss_movements617); Jamaican dancer, author, and DJ Bianca Rose [aka Bianca Star]; and Moroccan dancer/Raqs Sharqi dancer Soumaya MaRose.
