I now earn more than I ever did in my high-flying New York career.
I moved to New York City in my early twenties for a job in sales. I was the youngest person in my office, as well as the only one without a college degree, yet I was outselling all the old Wall Street guys. There were moments where I thought it was my looks that were getting me ahead, but I had the brains too.Growing up in Orlando, Florida I didn't have the best sex education. We were taught the basics—don't get pregnant, Jesus, menstruation.
It dawned on me that I was living a different life to those around me when I told my colleagues about my first BDSM experience. Everyone in the office that day thought I was lying; they couldn't believe little, old Gila from the Corporate Sales department could be doing such things. A few nights later, I went for cocktails with an old friend from Florida and, after dishing the dirty details of our New York escapades, we realized we had similarly open attitudes to sex. That night, our podcast was born.
At the time, talking about taboo subjects around sex was virtually unheard of within the Black community. The podcast, at its core, is about empowerment. My co-host and I were both Black corporate women who were professionals yet still wanted to discuss our sexual desires, be it kinky or vanilla. We've since interviewed other people on the show, toosuch as the woman who allows her boyfriend to sleep with other men, or the shoe salesman who has a foot fetish.
I wanted people to hear about these stories because they are real things happening to real people. I think that is why our podcast has been so successful, drawing in hundreds of thousands of listeners.
