Whore Pride- A Short Film




So this was a digital story I made a couple of years ago.  It's a snapshot of achievements I had made at the time.  Sex Workers, stigmatised and hiding, are often erased and silenced throughout history.  I refuse to be made invisible.  I am here.  We are here, and if I have anything to do with it, we will not be forgotten.  

I've been lucky enough to screen in a few times alongside other digital stories by other sex workers.  I've even taken these stories across the planet to share with other sex workers.  

I'm really grateful to Zero-One-Zero, an amazing, community minded multimedia collective who gave me the skills to put this- and so many future projects- together.

Tyson's Story

So this is a story I contributed to the Victorian AIDS Council's Staying Negative campaign a few years ago.  


One of the first times I spoke publicly about sex work, it was told at a time when I was still using a working name, I talk about a number of things including how I got started, talking about stigma and coming ut as queer to my family.
