We’re talking about two of my favourite things this week: food and sex work. That, along with two of my other favourite topics on the podcast: resiliency and allyship. I catch up with Nikeisah Newton of the Portland-based, Meals 4 Heels, a late-night food delivery service fuelling hungry strippers with healthy and wholesome food.
It was a niche that Nikeisah identified when she left her job as a cook in Portland’s restaurant scene. Wanting to support her then dancer ex-girlfriend, she packed up some home cooked lunches for her which she brought to the club and ended up drawing some attention from other local dancers. Before she knew it, things started taking off and word let out. She’s now not only feeding sex workers across Portland, but also providing food to the Portland’s frontline workers, protesters, LGBTQ and the greater community. Meals 4 Heels is a Black-owned, queer-friendly, and sex worker-supportive business – be sure to order from her if you’re based in Portland!
