Welcome to
Ask Avery

We're here to support you.

We provide services to people who work in the sex trade. However you identify it: prostitution, hoein, dancing, sex work, escorting, camming, sugaring, the game, commercial sexual exploitation, you should have access to services that make your community safer.

We’re an organization run by individuals who have exited the sex trade and know that exiting is possible, but we’re not here to force you to make that decision. We understand how difficult exiting can be and that it’s not a choice everyone wants to or can make.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”

Maya Angelou

Since 2010, she’s built the network to be a safe place for people in the life. She kept in touch by offering resources like care packages and information about services.

“In her heart she is a mourner for those who have not survived. In her soul she is a warrior for those who are now as she was then. In her life she is both celebrant and proof of women's capacity and will to survive, to become, to act, to change self and society. And each year she is stronger and there are more of her."
