#279 A Porn Performer's Journey Finding Self-Love After Having a Disability - with GoAskAlex

In this episode we interview award-winning adult model, performer, sex educator and disability advocate GoAskAlex all about her experience in the adult film/porn industry. Alex got her start in 2014, and then a few years into her career she had a life-changing surgery resulting in a permanent disability. Alex shares her journey towards self-love and acceptance, as what it's like as she continues to work in adult film. More about our guest: GoAskAlex is an adult model, onscreen performer and sex educator with the distinction of being the industry’s first-ever ostomate since receiving a life-changing surgery in 2019: “my small intestine was diverted out through my abdomen, and I now wear a permanent medical device.” The auburn-haired British Columbia, Canada native - who launched her adult career in 2014 as a webcam model and online companion - has since taken the opportunity to use her high-profile platform to advocate for disabled and underrepresented bodies in adult media. GoAskAlex currently sits atop the 1% of content creators on OnlyFans, is a top attraction over at SuicideGirls.com and sells her original video clips on top sites such as ManyVids. iWantClips and Clips4sale. She has since been featured in XBIZ Magazine, posing for the cover as the trade publication’s first-ever model with an ostomy, as well as Hustler E-Magazine to promote her inspiring Disabled Sex Workers Calendar. She also won 2020’s XBIZ Cam Award for Best Inked Model and 2021’s XBIZ Best Cam Model.
