Kay Parker (1944–2022):

Kay Parker became an unexpected icon during the so-called Golden Age of Porn in the 1970s and ’80s. She was widely recognized, intensely projected upon, and narrowly defined by roles she would later outgrow. In the early 2000s, Parker quietly re-emerged as a metaphysical teacher and writer, turning her attention to the nature of identity itself. Through her book Taboo: Sacred, Don’t Touch and years of intimate teaching, she explored how the self is constructed in response to fear, desire, and expectation. She passed away from cancer in 2022.

Want to go beyond listening about creators and actually live like one?

Consider joining the next Creators Collective class. This month, we’re diving into Friedrich Nietzsche—not as meme or misquote, but as a companion for creators dismantling borrowed identities and learning how to author their own lives. A potent evening for anyone standing at the edge of change, ready to stop playing the role and start telling the truth.
