Akynos - Executive Director

A leadership and program developer/organizer I am also a member of several different sex worker ran/lead organizations where I’ve lobbied in New York State against Condoms As Evidence and helped make recommendations on human rights policies at The UN.  Some of these wonderful organizations which I hope you will support are: The Desiree AllianceThe Sex Worker Film & Arts FestivalBest Practices Policy ProjectSWOP-NYCWe Are Dancers and The NJ Red Umbrella Alliance; because being a ho should be every woman’s [person’s] fundamental right.  And sex work is work.

Liliana Velásquez - Organizer

Liliana Velásquez is at work on self-worth and self-help. This Domina of the Comedy combines the emotional maturity and understanding of self-acceptance as a woman in her mid-40s that is childless and mostly single she has found herself to be in a position of pleasure and privilege. She uses her platform to have fun while also bringing attention to immigration rights, sex worker rights, and women’s rights, the intersection of LILIANA‘s life. A certified Doula, self-defense trainer, and a member of Berlin's first SW theater ensemble,  currently in the Kiss & Tell theater production. She produces Berlin’s longest-running open stage for developing artists in music, comedy, poetry & more, providing a safe space for developing voices focusing on marginalized humans. Her current comedy tour, “Time To Shine,” is about removing the taboo from our safe, sane & consensual kinks.
