Everybody in the Club Getting…Rights

Thanks to the Hip-hop boom of the 21st-century—exotic dancers and stripper culture have been put at the forefront of entertainment culture. Today, some of the biggest female stars including Amber Rose, Blac Chyna, Eve, and Cardi B got there start in the clubs—since moving on to excel in business, music, and destroying the Kardashians. But jokes aside, these women turned dancing for money into multi-million dollar careers and have increased acceptance of sex workers by tenfold.

However, despite their influence, the club scene isn’t all glitz and glamour. Even in 2017, strippers face work injustices and discrimination—if not more than ever before.

To learn more about the stripper strike and how Cardi B predicted the strike long before it happened, keep on reading.
