Have you heard of FOSTA/SESTA? Did you hear of Backpage and Craigslist? For a decade I advertised on Backpage & Craigslist (well, I used to) since Trump signed The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allowed States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) are the U.S. Senate and House bills that as the FOSTA-SESTA package became law on April 11, 2018. The bill sounds great to remove sex trafficking, but there’s always a positive side of sex, and that includes me. There are always 2 sides to a story, and conservatives would love to shut down anything sex-related. They are doing a wonderful job by Trump signing this bill. Were you a Backpage.com fan or checked out ads on Craigslist. I started marketing my Ebyresa striptease lap dance business on both of these platforms about 15 y r s ago. I am a consenting adult who advertised workshops, classes, and events to learn dance moves, confidence skills, and empowerment to love themselves and learn who they are. Are you ready to learn who you are without the guilt and shame of family, religion, politics, work, or friends? Who are you? What do you want in your life right now? These are 2 hard and scary ideas and questions to think of. Would you lose your family, faith, friends, and status if you decided to be you? It was a hard decision for me to make, but in my heart, passion, and soul, this is me. Remember, if nothing changes, nothing changes. I have always spoken my truth, and now I have a platform online to speak to more people! These 2 amazing platforms helped me build my business and get noticed on the first page of google. It took a lot of time, commitment, persistence, and consistent copy and pasting. It was a great way to advertise for free and build relationships and clients through a safer, quicker outlet and build a real business out of it. Over the years, I was flagged, or my ads were removed. When it first happened, I did not understand why someone would flag me. Years later, I realized religion is powered by money and control. I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I would post another ad and work and thought of many different angles to advertise online to grow my business. Many other people in the sex industry and or any business relied on these 2 helpful websites to grow their brand and business. It was a great feeling to finally speak our truth, a way for people to find us online, and a way to build a prosperous business through a free outlet. I kept on advertising on these sites and enjoying the outcome. From there, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Tumbler, and many other online platforms came into play. It was a way for myself and many others to build a social media presence for ourselves and many others. We built our lives, businesses, families, friends by these safe new exciting platforms. Since this bill passed in April 2018, many of us have lost our incomes, our websites, our social media pages, and most important online reviews and blacklist websites to keep us safe. I am still working and posting on Instagram and syncing it to Facebook and Twitter. I am shadowbanned and not sure who can find me. With all my hard work, all my social media pages can disappear at any moment. Not a safe, fun feeling when this is my livelihood and passion. This bill is trying to keep anyone speaking about sex behind the scenes on all these sites. If we get enough flags on these applications, we will get removed or blocked by advertising on IG or FB. How do we move forward if no one can find us? Do I go back to basics and pass out business cards, knock on doors, and hope for the best? I am ready to be global and would love to speak worldwide about helping you become your true authentic sexual self. I will keep on breaking down the walls and speaking my sexy words through any platform I can find. December 17th, 2018, Tumbler banned all adult content. There are so many social media platforms to choose from but also many to overwhelm us. I never learned or advertised on Tumbler. What would you do if you counted on all these free speech platforms for your business? They are removing us because we talk about sex, and there is always a positive and negative about sex or anything we do in our lives. We are all here from an orgasm, and we can’t even talk about it on here or out loud!!! The Fosta is a way to remove the platform for sex and human trafficking. By removing these platforms, will it stop trafficking? What about the consenting adults who relied on these websites and applications? I realized conservatives don’t care about individuals or us. The only thing we can do is keep speaking our truth and to VOTE. If you love strip clubs, tantrikas, sex workers, sensual massages, sex coaches, sex educators, lingerie stores, camming, porn stars, and or anything related to sex, please learn more about Fosta and the positive side of the sex industry and why we are so important to this world. xoxo, DR #drresa
