A woman who danced for 18 years in “gentlemen’s clubs” reveals the realities of stripping for a living at Lifetree Café at noon Monday, Aug. 29.

The program, titled “Trapped: A Stripper’s Journey Out of Hopelessness,” features a filmed interview with a woman who began working in the adult-entertainment industry at the age of 18.

“My self-worth was tied to the amount of money I could bring home in a night or the amount of adoration I received from men,” the woman says. “It took its toll on me.”

During the program, participants will be given an opportunity to share times in their own lives they’ve felt trapped and how they escaped.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Kokanee Coffee, 509 N. Fifth, Sandpoint.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Angela Reese at 208-597-7831.
