“Real talk and zero shame. Yes, it’s a little chaotic, but I’m working on it.”

Educate. Entertain. Empower.

I’m Raven Kali: an award-winning pole performer, trauma-informed advocate and co-host of the podcast Trashy Imports. Through performance, writing and advocacy, I aim to support and empower fellow entertainers while challenging stigma around mental health and sex work.

On stage, my shows bring high-energy yet sensual choreography, with extreme flexibility, strength, pole and aerial arts. My themed sets blend dynamic choreography, elaborate costumes and theatrical storytelling, and I’ve won so many awards from my Maleficent set alone.

On the mic, Bambi Wilde and I serve up sex work stories, mental health mayhem and unfiltered banter. Whether I’m onstage or on the podcast, I’m committed to offering unfiltered insight, real talk and zero shame.

Off stage, I run The Livia Network, a resource hub dedicated to improving the mental health of sex workers and empowering others to build their own communities, because support shouldn’t stop at the workplace.
