❤MY SISTER (yes this is my real sister) Natasha I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I’m proud of you. I know what you grew up with and I was there with you thru some not all but enough of it. You are truly an amazing and beautiful woman and no matter what your occupation is- I am so proud of you for still being alive and kicking after all the tragedies you’ve endured. I’m always gonna be here for you. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most in the past when mom died. I love you sister and good job it’s not easy speaking your truths.

I find that these interviews really ground me. They remind me that everyone is human, no matter what they are going through in life.

It is wrong to say a person cannot get out of "the game". I was a cochise addict and alcoholic for 25 years. I was trafficked to Florida, Orlando actually. After 29 arrests and a prison stay, I got out! I can remember on my last arrest asking God to do whatever it took to break me of the entire addiction to that lifestyle. He did!! Now 21 years clean, sober and serving Christ as a Pastor I help others get to detox, rehabs, healthy places. I am praying for her. Thank you Mr. Liata for sharing these stories. There is hope.

Mark, thank you for creating this channel. It is very tasteful. No dramatic music, no sensationalist editing, just stories of people, what they do and why they do it.

Tasha, as a social worker I used to work with women your age and older who did get out of the game. It’s difficult but it’s definitely possible. You just need to want out and to seek support. You can 100 percent have a different life, if you want it. ❤

It's sad to see her start out like "I choose to do this, it's no different than any other job" and then immediately describe being threatened into prostituting and then forced into continuing with "no way out". Everyone's ragging on her for the intro comparison (I certainly get that, it was a bad one lol) but in reality it's just her trying to cope with 20 years of constant emotional distress. Prostitution is like indentured servitude, it feels like their choice on the surface but deep down they know they're trapped in this lifestyle. Hope she finds a way out eventually.

The fact she first says, “I choose this,” then turns right around and describes it as being “stuck for life,” tells me this woman isn’t happy with her life decisions. No friends, no life, unbelievable violence, transient life, no roots, health problems, jail, no hope of getting out… so incredibly sad. Not brain surgery.

She’s a real sweetie, she masks it under years of trauma, pain and abuse. I really wish her the best and hope she’s stays safe!

I married for love. We struggled, we didn’t have money at times, but I wasn’t looking to “be taken care of”. I was looking for someone to spend my life with, and 30 years later, it’s the best decision I ever made. We don’t have a lot, but we have each other. It’s sad that money would be the deciding factor over love.

She deserves so much better. I really hope she finds her way out into a safe peaceful life.

Thank you Mark, you non-judgmental line of questioning and genuine personality is great.

"Your kids don't want for anything" except having their mother in their lives and not having the knowledge that she chose money over being with them. It's really sad for everyone involved

I am immensely impressed and profoundly moved by this woman's intellect, mettle, and resilience. She deserves a much better life, and I hope she can find it before it's too late.

She may not have furthered her education, but she’s way smarter than a lot of people who have!! She’s articulate, honest, and courageous IMO and I wish her well!

Tasha you have what it takes to get out of this life. I see so much potential in you. If only you could see it in yourself.

What struck me about this interview is I feel like she has some great intellect and some solid leadership potential, could go far in the work world I think.

Clear truthful answers to each of the questions posed. There are no antics, no games, everything is real and honest. I understand how deep the roots of the problem are and I wish relief to Tasha at least in her last minutes. Security and freedom are what every person needs. If possible, tell her that.

She's intelligent, charming, and attractive but in total denial. Her life could be so much better. I truly wish her all the best.

41 is NOT too late to learn something that secures you financially at old age. Youre young strong and healthy.

She smiles because she’s so full of sorrow and shame. She may have chosen this job but she says she was forced into this life? Her voice shakes and this tells me she doesn’t respect this lifestyle. I’m praying for you, Tasha. Jesus saved me from this lifestyle and if he can save a wretch like me, he can save anyone. ✨✨Jesus loves us all with such sincere love and grace. God bless you Tasha. ✨

Based on how Tasha presented herself, I think this is the sort of lady most of us would like as a friend. I appreciated your honesty Tasha.

Tasha, I'm pretty sure of two things: 1) You're going to read these comments, and 2) You are still young, good looking, healthy, intelligent, articulate and capable of feeling and showing emotion- thereby, you can use this momentum to go anywhere but where you've been to create a chill life for yourself. You could start a podcast for broken hoes from broken homes with broken hearts and solid minds. These days, you don't even have to "forgive and forget" or any of that stupid shit they preached to us street kids 20 years ago. You don't have to reinvent yourself, hide your past or feel like your recovery needs to take a backseat to getting a square job to pay bills. You can heal yourself by helping other people heal. If you honestly try just a little, you can channel your experience, your intuition, your connections and ultimately your pain to help heal other people with similar circumstances. For what it's worth, your life should have proven nothing less than this: You are the most valuable thing you've ever known. Your candor in this interview is endearing, but the confidence it takes to be so open is empowering. Moreso than getting your retirement notice from a broken beer bottle. Trust yourself, not me. I'm just an internet dude living the advice I'm giving in one way or another. You said when they jumped you, you wondered "what you did to deserve it" and that blows my mind after 20 years of the life. Here's the lesson, though: Nobody can give you what you deserve but you. Change the faces, spaces and embraces you see every day- and monetize your struggle by lifting others. You always wanted more- Go Get It.

Her story is heartbreaking and seeing the tears hurts my heat for her. Her legs are so swollen. Prayers God meets you and brings you into a comfortable place in your life.

Bless her heart I can tell she's such a kind hearted person Thats been through hell the streets is dirty

Well this one Tasha hit me hard. You got me to cry when you cried about the kids.. I’m so glad the dad is able to step up but I see the pain in your eyes. My life 20 yrs ago could of ended up this way but I caught myself early and changed. No prostitution but def drug use. I choose my children but I should of choose them sooner. I get it hun. God bless you ❤

She should write a book and give seminars to young vulnerable girls. She could help out people and still make a worthy income with dignity. Wish the best for her. If we would only listen to people more

Everytime I watch one of these videos I am amazed & disturbed all at the same time about how much I relate to these broken souls. I've never experienced anything close to what they've been through. But, I do have trauma & an uncomfortable past. Regardless of circumstances, this is what trauma does & this is what it looks like.

Wishing Tasha-p many blessings and much joy. Please take good care.

Found that very powerful and levelling. My best wishes to her and children.

If this lady had chosen a different life path, she could've easily become at least a mid-level supervisor in a big corporation. She's smart, articulate, attractive, and tough as nails.

My guess, is her kids would rather have a broke mom, working at a fast food joint, living in a small apartment nearby them, than have a mom who makes money but they only see once a year. I hope you find a way out of this life -- Something better is waiting for you.

I can’t say anything except I hope she has some peace in her life and joy in her heart ❤

If she doesn't have work experience she can say she was a stay at home mom. I hope she can find a life outside of prostitution. She is very well spoken and may not have a college education but has a lifetime of knowledge and has survived this long in the game which takes skills.

Great interview. Tasha seems like such a nice lady. It’s a shame her life went down that road. She could have gone far. She’s a really strong person. Even with the scar she is still very attractive.

When she said “My 20 year old, their grown so they’re on their own” that hit hard. The amount of years they’ve been on the earth doesn’t really equate to still needing their mom. 😢

What a piece of work. That’s the gratitude she got for being loyal and business partner. She never deserved that kinda farewell to that loser. What comes around goes around. Hope she finds peace somewhere else with other people.

Tasha you would be an excellent counselor! You're beautiful, bright and street smart. You're knowledge would be invaluable and I think you could definitely change lives!

"Even though i cant have my kids, they don't want for anything"..... umm YES THEY'D want a MOTHER in their daily lives over material things. The kids dont care she makes "$3000 a day.

I pray for Tasha. I think she is beautiful and the scar on her face only endears me to her. It shows her tenasity and I wish she would try to get on to a different life. She could be so much more than she gives herself credit for.

Sasha's life is no different than someone who has been out at war. She is so articulate and able to convey plainly the trauma in her life making her such an outstanding interview.

Someone with a clear mind looking in from the outside can see that Tasha has potential. It’s never too late to change or reinvent yourself. She can still get educated and land a decent job like most of the world. Cmon, do it for those kids if you can’t do it for yourself. Otherwise, Mark will be interviewing them because you messed them up. They will remain that abandoned 8-9 year old thats mother DIDNT fight for. You really need to check yourself. Material things like cars and clothes will not be what they remember about you. It will be the drugs, selling yourself and leaving them. And that’s the TRUTH!

After hearing this woman story she don't want out of the game. I can say one thing she keeps it real. But I got one thing to say to her. I was a part of the streets for over 45 years and you can get out I did. I say this to her as well you make the money and don't let it make you. Also as you know the streets don't love you. Hope you don't die out there chasing that buck.

Some deep points and very well-developed concepts to which the realities of life boil down to. I do think I have been blessed to have people in my life who showed up to contribute to our relationship rather than manipulate it. That has made a huge difference. I know that it may seem difficult, but perspective on a topic can be a game changer. I wish you the best on this journey and the future can be different.

When it comes to life a person is not STUCK for life doing something. Everyone has the power to change their life if they desire to do so...

It’s interesting that she would compare her work to a surgeon waking up and choosing that career everyday. Surgeons don’t have their lives threatened daily, but instead help the lives of others. Just from this interview alone, I’m sure mark would provide her the resources needed to help her get out of this lifestyle. What’s stopping her is the threat of her life being taken from her. That’s no way to live.

Thank you for the interview Tasha and SWU

Mark, How you expose a lost soul's vulnerability / weakness & strength in a single interview is nothing short of brilliant. You are an incredible being.

She’s so cute, she’s bubbly, smart! I hope she can stay ok!! ❤ I’m sad for her children though.

It's so refreshing to have someone so intelligent and well spoken being interviewed. Some of the people are as thick as shit and their interviews are like pulling teeth. Unfortunately for Tasha being so intelligent, mentally AND emotionally is definitely taking its toll. Being so self aware is draining, and she looks tired and stressed Anyways I wish you all the best Tasha, I hope you wake up one day and have the perfect exit job come in a dream 😊 Peace from Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨🐊🪃🌏🍻☮️

Beautiful and well spoken! I feel the answers to Mark's questions were truthful and honest. Tasha I hope you are able to feel and give love one day! That 14 yr old daughter will soon be grown and possibly have children of her own. She will need her Mom... more than once a year! xo

Thank you for this body of art and work mark!

She says she doesn't believe in love yet she has a shirt that says "love" on it. She said she chooses this life and it's no different than a brain surgeon. I believe this woman is genuine yet is living in denial. What is sad is that she seems very articulate and intelligent. If only she could see the potential the way many of these viewers do. I think getting a job at a gas station or a Walmart would have much more value than a pay check. It would help her break the cycle of living life off of ill gotten gains, and show her that working an honest days life has so much more value than $.. It would most likely lead to doors opening up with better opportunities. She is an intelligent woman and it's not too late to start over, and build better relationship with her children. There are definitely good men out there who'd be interested in being in a meaningful relationship with her. She has a lot to offer beyond sex. I hope she reads these comments and hears all the positive feedback. I wish her all the best!

“What would you do in life if $ wasn’t an issue?” I always want to know this. I think it shows the heart of a person. Or at least where their hope and curiosity live.

Her kids don't "want for anything"...maybe just their mom 😢

To watch someone cry and suffer and then say they choose this life and are happy is mind boggling to me…

Excellent interview. Tasha is incredibly intelligent and articulate.

I hope she finds peace and can be a bigger part of her kids life

Skills: worked with high net worth individuals in the sale of commodities Organized a portfolio of several vendors and customers to complete 4-5 service calls per day Handled 3-5k daily of gross receipts That is what u put on a resume... put on a mask and nose to the grindstone... I've sold and been on drugs b4 now gotta fake it to go straight but street smarts better than anything nerds say foreal. Stay strong Tasha praying for u

Great interview! Very articulate n great story teller, real survivor, hope she does well.

It surprised me in therapy how easy it was to have dismissed trauma as normal. It’s easy to see in someone else. She initially said she had a happy childhood and then went on to describe a terrible childhood. I did the same thing. My childhood was fine, but I’m here to figure out what’s wrong with me. It’s so unfortunate. I hope she finds a way to love herself.

“ Im not a rat “ so lets these scum bags who forced her into prostitution and others who almost killed her continue to do it to other innocent girls. Well done . Respect ✊

She is so smart and beautiful and I know that she has alot of fear. So heartbreaking 💔

It is crazy how unbelievably hard and cruel life is for some people. She seems very nice, well spoken, and she has a beautiful smile. I hope that she gets out of the "game'.

She has the power to break the cycle! She seems like a smart lady so she could easily switch gears. I’ve always wondered why! I’m sure it’s something that I would never understand. The harsh reality of her life is heartbreaking. But there is a way out. You just have to make a decision and align with ppl who can actually help. There are agencies and organizations that would help her. But she has to put in the work and make up her mind to do it.

💚 very interesting interview- easy to listen to- wish her healing health and peace

:i am not a rat"- such weird morality..two people tried to kill her. why not report to police?.

Life is hard and until you are faced with certain circumstances you don’t know what you would do

So smart and beautiful and well spoken. Heartbreaking. She could have done/been anything.

Life breaks my heart. It does not matter how much you know, or how many times you have been around the block.

Marrying the 70 year old New Orleans guy could be an option and a way out. I’m sure if you keep rocking his world it would be all yours in the end 😂

Absolutely nothing like a brain surgeon. I grew up in a bar too. I put myself through college. You are a smart woman. You can too. It's not too late. Pell grants. You can do anything. You just gotta wanna.

I like her a lot. You can get out of the game. You still have a lot of life to live and healing to do. It is not to late Tasha

Super intelligent and articulate. It’s very interesting to me that she feels there is no way out of the game. But also i get the world we live in money is important. Wishing her safety and all the best.

She is beautiful. I see a woman who is just trying to survive ❤

As a neurosurgeon i have to agree with her...we both work on organs that are vital to survival.

“An elephant in the room, or a skeleton in the closet.” Such a profound line from a lady who has seen more shit than most of us combined.

What always drives me crazy is hearing these women say they could never work a normal job because they make way too much money. Meanwhile they give every red cent to a pimp. Might as well work at Wendy's and keep all your money. You'd be $15 an hour richer.

How a child is raised & what they see & are told can traumatize a person for life!! Many times they make bad decisions as adults because they is no one to be the good example. I feel sad for her but she is choosing the money over raising her children.

I wish better days ahead for you Tasha. You deserve peace and good things in life.

Childhood trauma leads to so many issues, drug use crime, the list goes on... But blame the woman. Makes sense.

God bless you and keep you safe. I’m from Fayetteville too. My younger sister, whom I love more than anyone in the world, became a prostitute. She was murdered in Rogers two years ago of 46. I loved her from the moment mom and dad brought her home from the hospital. That love has never quit and never will. Her story? She was beautiful and a six years marriage, he divorced and remarried quickly. She never remarried and had no alimony. She she was a licensed massage therapist and began to practice in a massage therapy room at a local convention center. Little by little, men paid big prices for a small deluxe massage, then it turned into more of a deluxe massage, she got hooked into the money, which was like the life she had become accustomed to. She developed severe alcoholism and she told me that every morning when she woke up, her first thought was, I hate you . After she passed away, it fell on me to clean out her storage unit. It was full of black longera and black high heels, and black gloves and cigarette lighters. She didn’t smoke, but my dad died of lung cancer, and she felt like cigarettes were evil. So she would give discounts in return for their lighters. It was quite a varied collection. I watched your story because I wanted to understand my sister better. Thank you. You helped me.

I think she could get out, but is stuck and scared. She is very smart Hope you puts forth the effort to do it for her kids

This is the second interview I've watched on this channel. You definitely have a way of getting people to open up to you. Outstanding work! Subscribed.

Sounds like she needs to call the older fella up and get it set up. He obviously has a good retirement. If she settles that down and gets married she would be eligible to receive that money too! Time to be smarter than the hustle!

Secrets are the problem Say it out loud Well done Much respect

She is very pretty. She could have a regular job. She could just say she been raising her children. Lots of women don’t work then. I never worked for 10 years. Then went back into full time work.

Thank you for sharing your story, I wish you all the very very best ❤

Gooood Morning All!👋🤓 or whatever time of day it is for you. Peace and Love from 6:00am Brooklyn NY🇺🇸 to you and wherever in the world🌍 you are, my SWU fam

The most honest interview I’ve watched. Tasha wishing you health and happiness.

Another great interview, Mark. Her comparison to a brain surgeon was more of a metaphor...of course the two are completely different in ways, but I think she was getting at the fact that we're all human.

I like Tasha and how she was very open to share her experiences and personal story. But at 30:20 when Mark asked her “Do you believe in love?” And she replies “No, not anymore, no, no.” And yet she wore a shirt that said LOVE written on it. 🤔 As a social worker, I can see Tasha has a lot of potential in her career if she chooses to make those changes. Most important thing is that she needs to work on healing her childhood trauma and practice self-love and see her self-worth. Life is a choice and how we choose to experience that depends on our actions. We can be victims or survivors and become thrivers if we choose to believe that we want is what we deserve. Be empowered rather disempowered. I wish her well in getting the support she needs. 🙏❤️☮️

This lady is stressed out to the max. I feel for her.

Dear Tasha, I am so sorry your life has been so difficult. I see in you a Strong, good and intelligent woman. I only wish the best for you and send good thoughts your way.

Not a good comparison

She is intelligent and articulate, but listen to what she says. She is cold hearted.

Is the swelling due to lupus or hep c her legs look extremely swollen

One of the saddest videos I’ve seen of yours. She is beautiful inside and out and worthy of a good life. Please help her realize she can choose what her life is and can be.

She has a concerning health condition, her lower extremity swelling is significant.

Everyone you interview maybe except the ones that are recovering are in such dark places.. I wish them all the best

As much as I hate to preach alternative adult work to adult workers. She has no real excuse not to leave the game in 2023. The internet has offered an easy out to both educated and uneducated women such as herself willing to put in work to sell content online and make lucrative money (more than doctors and lawyers in many cases) -- all without leaving the comfort of their own home or putting themselves in danger. Seems there's a psychological barrier that still remains. It's not really about the money like she thinks. It's about her addiction to the lifestyle. I'm guessing a lot of women that get involved as prostitutes at an early age tend to suffer from a sort of Stockholm Syndrome after years of being subjected to use and abuse...almost to the point where they love it and depend on it. I wish the best for her. The true victims are her kids. She needs to clean up and get involved in their lives, because they need her more than she needs 'the game.'
