Director’s Statement:
This project is the convergence of my many passions on my path of erotic reclamation. After 14 years of Catholic school, I went on a journey to liberate my sexuality, embodiment and expression from the conditioning of sex negativity I was raised in. This took me into the depths which has included connecting to my roots, active decolonization, deconstructing sexual stigma and advocating for sex workers’ rights.
This exploration has included 10 years as a stripper, becoming a founding member of worker owned Stripper Co-Op, founding Pussy Empowered™- a platform for liberation of the erotic through coaching, events, retreats and a podcast, and continued anthropological inquiry through art and research.
My path as a a visual and recording artist has led me to create erotic and uncensored music and accompanying music videos. This video, based on the song I wrote, “Holy Water”, explores my lived experience as a polyamorous woman returning to my Caribbean roots and coming face to face with psychological impacts of colonization in encounters that put a lens on misogyny, Catholic shame and guilt, unraveling stereotypes and indulging pure primal desire.
This song and video are assertions of agency, autonomy, subjectification, seduction, and a celebration, rather than vilification of the female orgasm. This music video employs elements of expression with roots in sex work including lap dance, worship, striptease, stripper aesthetic, dominance & submission play, while employing the vixen archetype.

Read about the inspiration and creation of this video and song from the words of the artist via Substack
He was the kind of guy you’re warned about
Also the kind that melts in your mouth
He unleashed my holy water
He released my holy water
He was a man of god (bless him)
How quick he found my spot
Ugh drip drop, pussy pop
Seeds sewing fountain flowing garden growing (gushing gushing gushing)
He be finding my spot, he be knowing my spot
Key word is mine
In case you’re inclined
To give him all the power but
He can go for hours but
This. is. my. fountain
Drink if you dare.
Seeds sewing fountain flowing garden growing
Holy water
Seeds sewing fountain flowing garden growing
Holy water
He released my holy water
He unleashed my holy water
This is my fountain
I’m not body countin’
You think you’re taking from me but
It gives me life
This life is pain and strife
But pleasure takes us higher
You say my souls on fire but
At least im honest
You kept your promise but
I can feel your shame
Feel you playing games
And im not about it
Im not scared don’t doubt it
This. is. my. fountain
And I plan to use it
God I’m so pick and choose it
And i won’t be shamed
I wont be to blame
Dices que ‘nos quemamos’
Digo ‘baby vamos’
I wanna feel the burn
Without a lesson learned
I just want to enjoy it
So come on baby boy its
Time to drink from the fountain
Seeds sewing fountain flowing garden growing
Holy water
Seeds sewing fountain flowing garden growing
Holy water
Get on my knees & pray, please let me have my way.
Get on my knees & pray, please let me have my way.
