Educator of the Year - Board Voted

Educator of the Year 

This award recognises a sex worker who shares knowledge with care, clarity, and courage. Whether they’re teaching online, in person, through workshops, podcasts, zines, socials, or peer support, they help others navigate topics in the adult industry i.e. sex, adult work, fetish, taboo, relationships, business.

Think: someone who shares knowledge that’s practical and accessible. A peer educator or creator sharing things that are useful, respectful, and valuable.

This award is proudly sponsored by Raven Tax & Advisory, because financial education is powerful, especially in sex work.
