Raani Begum, Heaux History Project
I am a queer, South Asian, full service sex worker in Philadelphia. I organize with Project Safe and Philadelphia Red Umbrella Alliance around the issues people who trade sex and use drugs experience. I am also a current member of Heaux History Project. My community organizing and research is focused on the intersection of street economies, culture, labor, anti-police work and surveillance, and harm reduction from a gendered perspective.
