HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Adult performer Sinn Sage will be a featured participant in the University of Rhode Island's LGBTQ+ Liberation Month event. Sage is the keynote speaker and will visit Gender and Women's Studies classes, as well as participate in three other events focused on sex-positive educational messaging beginning Oct. 12. Sage has made a name for herself as a unique and dynamic personality. Since launching her career as a model two decades ago, she has grown from a performer to a multifaceted content producer. Further, Sage has used her platform to inform people about the realities of being queer and a sex worker. Her purpose in life is to inspire others, eradicate harmful shame narratives, and open minds to the possibilities of experiencing sexual joy and liberation.
The LGBTQ+ Liberation Month programs and services will be open to faculty, staff, and students, as well as the community at large. Some of the discussions will be accessible to the public via Zoom rooms.
The gender and women's studies topics will explore sex work in particular due to the frequency of LGBTQ+ adults who engage in sex work. Additionally, they explore how the adult film world has developed over time and how queer people are changing the landscape of how films look and impact our communities. Sinn Sage will speak to all of these issues and much more. Sinn will also be visiting two Gender and Women's Studies classes as a guest speaker, which speaks to the critical nature of sex work in academia.

"I was thrilled beyond words when I got the invitation to be a keynote speaker at the University of Rhode Island for their annual sex week!" said Sinn. "I feel like that was the email I was waiting to receive for my entire career. I'm so excited to share the experience and knowledge I've gained in my 20 years of sex work with enthusiastic young adults who are interested in having real and candid discussions about human sexuality, pleasure, queerness, culture, capitalism, and the intersectionality of all of the above in an academic setting. With plenty of room for some plain fun events as well, this encounter will absolutely be a highlight of my career. I can only hope that in the future, I will have more opportunities like this one to share my insights and experiences!"
