Dubbed Pittsburgh's Motivational stripper, Luscious D has been writing and performing since she was in kindergarten and has shared her journey into self-love and acceptance with audiences around the country. Her 2016 performance piece Loving My Reflection sparked her to launch Loving Your Reflection, celebrating it's 6 year anniversary, where she organizes empowerment activities -themed photoshoots, fashion shows, classes, and more. Passionate about changing the narrative of how we view and speak about our bodies, one story at a time, she was inspired to start A Map of My Evolution Podcast in 2020. This podcast was launched in response to rampant online body shaming during the pandemic. A Map Of My Evolution podcast is providing space to showcase stories of ALL bodies and abilities. ALL bodies are valid. ALL stories are worthy of visibility and acceptance. Our collective voices are so powerful !!From burlesque and variety performers to actors and artists, and everyone else in between, A Map of My Evolution podcast will feature a diverse array of guests. Sharing our stories is so powerful and you never know who may be listening and need to hear exactly what you are saying!
