I am sooo very glad to be back in San Francisco. My trip east was difficult, at times but good. From the US Social Forum to visiting all sorts of people from various points in my past, my perspective has been challenged and expanded. And I am a bit weary at the moment from educating about sex worker issues and realities. I have been reminded how lucky I am to not have to deal on a constant basis with the level of judgement and discrimination that happens in other parts of this country, and in areas outside of my community.
I still plan on posting notes and reflections from some of the workshops I attended, but I am a bit swamped with various things I need to catch up on and finish….It was next to impossible to get any work done on my trip, and I guess I need some more time to digest.
In the mean time, be sure to check out the various fabulous events of the sex worker festival:
