On May 13th, 2025, Kim Ye’s publication ProMomme: A Sex Worker’s Guide to Parenting was featured in Tryst’s curated list of essential sex worker-authored books. The article, titled “6 Sex Worker Books for Your Reading List,” celebrates recent literary contributions by sex workers that challenge stigma and center lived experience.
ProMomme is an anthology curated by Kim Ye in collaboration with the Sex Workers Outreach Project – Los Angeles (SWOPLA). Funded by a fellowship from Creative Corps, the California Arts Council, and Community Partners, the book features contributions from sixteen sex worker-parents. It explores the complexities of parenting while engaged in sex work, pushing back against societal binaries that separate the “Madonna” from the “Whore.”
Also featured in Tryst’s article are Karma Chávez’s The Borders of AIDS, Emi Koyama’s The Transfeminist Manifesto, Juno Mac and Molly Smith’s Revolting Prostitutes, Kitty Stryker’s edited collection Ask: Building Consent Culture, and Ceyenne Doroshow’s Cooking in Heels, alongside Kim Ye’s ProMomme: A Sex Worker’s Guide to Parenting.
