In this episode, Céline and Maria speak with Silver Stevens, a Two-Spirit artist and activist from the wolf clan in the Gitxsan Nation, about sex work, decriminalization, and body sovereignty. They talk about destigmatizing sex work, rights not rescue, Jesus and harm reduction, and how decriminalization connects to decolonization. We’re honoured to share Silver’s powerful voice and incisive wisdom and experience with you.
