 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

some guy who hit me up kept insisting that I also go onto another site that hosts listings for sex workers and kept pushing me and encouraging me. I thought it was weird so I didn’t respond or take him up on it.

Tonight I’m hearing that there are arrests in my city and the neighboring cities and that cops are targeting sex workers that advertised on specific websites.

These are supposedly around a weeklong so if you know any SW or are one, I’d advise not working for a week or two, which is often super fucking shitty. I know I’m going to be in a tight financial situation because of this, two weeks is a lot to not work in this trade.
