Description

In this workshop, I share from my lived experience working inside one of Australia’s largest OnlyFans agencies, where I was responsible for recruiting, marketing, and managing the accounts of content creators. Participants will go behind the scenes of an industry that is often glamorized and misunderstood, offering a raw and eye-opening look at the realities that are rarely discussed in public. This workshop is not just about my personal story — it is a deep dive into the cultural and digital shifts we are witnessing today. Together we explore how the normalization of sexual exploitation through platforms like OnlyFans, Instagram, and TikTok is shaping a generation’s understanding of identity, intimacy, and empowerment. We’ll unpack how online culture is not only influencing individuals but also fueling the larger systems of exploitation. I aim to shatter the illusion of empowerment that is often sold to young people and expose the deeper consequences for mental health, relationships, and self-worth. This workshop is designed to educate and equip attendees with the insight, language, and tools they need to engage in these conversations with clarity and compassion — whether they're parents, educators, ministry leaders, or advocates. My goal is to bring truth, redemption, and strategy to the forefront of the cultural conversation and to help create safe spaces where youth can reclaim their value outside of commodified sexuality.
