The Power ofof thethe Pole

I started pole dancing because I wanted to glow up after a nasty breakup and be more in touch with my feminine side. I never really knew what that meant until I turned twenty-two and realised just how powerful female sensuality was. It’s always been stigmatised. In society. In my family. I never knew my mum, she walked out when I was just two, but I do know my step mum, and whenever a woman came onto TV wearing the slightest bit of cleavage, she scoffed. Spooned another mouthful of Ben and Jerries into her mouth and said, “talk about self respect.”
