That negative chatter... you just go "Shh, I'm busy being awesome".
I don't teach them, I just give them permission.
As an artist, you're here to create and stand with integrity and stand for what you believe in.
Always having the dialogue open, took the shame away from sexuality and from our bodies. It opened up a conversation.
My body is my medium. The narrative of how I go from costumed to mostly naked, or sometimes fully naked, is the dialogue for what I do and my art form.
