Venita H.

I am a very independent woman with a unique mix of life experience and skills. I grew up poor, surviving a variety of childhood and adult traumas, became a stripper and a dominatrix, and then a single mother by choice via IVF. I have long been an advocate for sex workers, industry safety and feminism, working with a female owned and operated family business providing safe adult entertainment jobs for dozens of people in a law abiding and secure setting. I now have a small family I've built successfully after healing and growing as a person. Among the variety of things I've learned about relationships, self esteem, health, and real world experience, I also became a non-theistic Satanist along the way. This non-spiritual religious path is NOT one of indoctrination, but one of bodily autonomy, critical thinking and liberation. Through many leadership roles in The Satanic Temple, I've become a strong and motivated version of myself that prioritizes rest and self care, with a nice balance of civic duty and hedonism. This collective life experience gives me very unique views, I've been told, on pretty much anything from dealing with people, society, personal boundaries to parenting. I've spent a great deal of time as a political activist, organizing and speaking at events that are close to my heart, and participating in self empowerment rituals with my satanic community, including a variety of volunteer projects. I am also a BIG nerd, with a love for sci-fi, dungeons & dragons and video games. I also have experience DJing industrial and electronic music! I have a degree in New Media & Communications with a focus on digital art, marketing graphic and web design. My real world experience is rounded out with both art and technology.
