access changes everything.

Think about it—success, stability, even the ability to dream bigger often comes down to the opportunities we’re exposed to. For many people, it’s about being born into the right network or having someone teach them the things that set them up for life—like how to manage money or navigate career paths. But for so many of us, especially those from marginalized communities, those doors just aren’t open. The tools aren’t handed down, and the system isn’t set up to help us climb the ladder. Social mobility becomes a pipe dream when access isn’t an option.

My goal is to share the resources, representation, and visibility that make real upward mobility possible. Because when access is equitable—when people have the tools they need to succeed—we all rise. It’s not about giving people a handout; it’s about holding open the door. And that’s how we create real, lasting change.

At my core, this work is deeply personal.
By the time I hit my teens, I felt like a walking diversity bingo card.

Grew up on the poverty line. Tattooed at 14. Neurodivergent, queer, plus-size, sex worker, and 2 years in intensive mental health therapy before I’d even hit 20..

and then I look around at my family—South African, Vietnamese, and Jamaican, and saw the endless ways we’re kept out of the game. My life was like a crash course in intersectionality before I even knew the word for it. While it sounds like the setup for a punchline, it’s a big part of what shaped me and why I care so deeply about the work I do today.

I know what it’s like to feel locked out of opportunities because the system wasn’t built for people like myself and the people I love. I’ve lived it.
I want to do what I can so that folk who’ve been left out of the conversation don’t just get a seat at the table—they get to thrive in their own way. My work isn’t about charity; it’s about creating access, so others don’t have to fight the same battles I did just to survive. When we open the doors for others, we’re not just lifting individuals—we’re building a stronger, more inclusive world for all of us. And that’s a win worth striving for.

Survival Worker Packs

I collect lingerie, toys, informational packages and other work related items from various businesses and other workers, as well as buying sexual health items myself to put together packages for workers in positions of need.

I do not profit from this project, and I spend my own time and money to make it happen. All I ask is that those who participate pay it forward if, when and in whatever way you are able to.

I keep all applicants anonymous and do not require you to prove your income or work situation - it is based on an honour system, so please be thoughtful about which resources you express need for to minimise waste ♥
