Woman's LinkedIn profile attracts praise
In a post, Egozi explained the reason for mentioning 'sex work' in her LinkedIn profile. Interesting thing being, she described it as her 'job'. She shared, "I left an in-house job with fancy benefits two weeks ago and the reason I could do that was sex work. I had just enough saved from selling and engaging my image that I could ask myself if I was happy. I wasn’t. Yeah, the few grand I’d stashed up over time helped, but the biggest reason I could walk away is because sex work shows me what my power can do when I own it intentionally."
The emotional labour of sex work
In her length post, Egozi also talked about the emotional labour that comes with sex work. Sharing her experience, she added, "I have no problem taking rejections from those that don’t want to pay it, because I charge what emotional labour is required right into the fee. I set and hold boundaries, and engage only in ways that are safe, playful, and abundant for me. I don’t waste my time with anything less (sic)."
