Streamate Spotlights Steph Sia as December 'Elevate' Community Partner

LOS ANGELES — Streamate has selected content creator and podcaster Steph Sia as its December Elevate Community Partner.

The Elevate initiative aims to recognize members and allies of the adult industry "working to positively impact their community through advocacy, direct support and/or creative endeavors," said a rep.

Sia is the fourth Community Partner since the initiative launched. 

"Sia started in adult as a sugar baby after a friend suggested she join an online platform," the rep continued. "From there, she became a stripper but quickly elevated to a feature dancer with regional popularity. In 2019, Sia launched her podcast, Stripped by SIA, focusing on destigmatizing the sex industry. She has interviewed hundreds of industry people, including sex workers, business execs, directors, clients, and activists."

Community Partners are spotlighted for a one-month period and given the opportunity to collaborate with Elevate on original content and/or livestream events.

"I chose to align myself with Streamate's Elevate initiative because it's a program that celebrates sex workers and their achievements," said Sia. "Too many times, we, as sex workers, are ridiculed for the work that we do and are not taken seriously. Finally, a major platform (as a whole) is choosing to highlight those who are making a difference in our community, to pave the way, and to amplify our voices when, often, they are erased."

Streamate Director of Community Relations and Elevate creator Vanessa Eve praised Sia's work. 

"Steph caught our attention through her industry-focused podcast, Stripped by SIA, which tackles topics that work toward destigmatizing and, more importantly, humanizing different facets of sex work and the people who work in the sex industry," she said. "Sometimes, these topics can feel unrelatable if you aren't already familiar with them or don't know people who work in adult. Steph does a great job of approaching these conversations from a place of learning through educational resources and informing listeners through diverse personal narratives, making them much more accessible to both industry members and average people (civilians) alike."
