In this conversation, Mistress AudryLu Black sits down with Katherine Studley—a tax consultant who works fluently in the spicy economy—to unravel the quiet complexities of filing taxes as a sex worker. They talk about the realities that rarely make it into polite financial advice: stigma, discretion, and the very real labor of keeping your livelihood protected in a world that isn’t always kind or fair.

Katherine breaks down why treating your work like a business matter—how clean organization, separating personal and professional finances, and, in some cases, forming an LLC can be acts of both self-respect and self-defense. Along the way, she offers clear, practical guidance on staying compliant, avoiding common mistakes, and building financial systems that don’t rely on shame or secrecy.

Most importantly, she models what so many in this industry need but rarely receive: a judgment-free space where questions are welcome, realities are acknowledged, and taking care of yourself is not only allowed but encouraged.

In this layered exchange, Mistress Audrey Lu Black and Eve Hall approach intimacy with both curiosity and command—unpacking “Big Clit Energy” as a philosophy of confidence, communication, and embodied awareness rather than a slogan. They move through sexual health with clarity and care, touching on pelvic floor wellness, fantasy, and roleplay as tools for connection, not performance. The conversation widens to include nonverbal language, the difference between sex and intimacy, and the persistent orgasm gap—examined without shame, but with precision. Kink appears here as a framework for consent, boundaries, and deeper dialogue, while trauma is acknowledged as something that deserves patience and education, not silence. What emerges is an invitation to self-care, playfulness, and honest conversation—because fulfillment, like confidence, grows where attention is paid.

Some truths linger in the body long after the conversation ends.

In this conversation, Lady Sheba moves with the kind of confidence that comes from lived knowledge—speaking as a dominatrix, educator, and artist who understands both the psychology and the poetry of her world. She traces the quiet power of makeup as ritual and signal, reflects on her stewardship at the Carter/Johnson Library, and honors leather not just as material, but as memory—stitched deeply into LGBTQ history and survival. Woven through it all are reflections on representation, mentorship, and how kink relationships continue to evolve with more intention, care, and community than ever before. Lady Sheba’s photographic installation will be on view at the Carter/Johnson Library & Collection in January 2026. Some legacies don’t just ask to be seen—they invite you to look closer.
