In her new role, the BBW superstar will be actively involved in the company\u2019s board meetings, fundraising activities, special events and strategic planning initiatives that advance and uphold the group\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am absolutely honored, elated and thrilled to be appointed this seat with the Cupcake Girls\u2019 Board of Directors,\u201d enthused Rose. \u201cSex workers\u2019 rights and safety have always been important to me, and it\u2019s a subject close to my heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really excited to be involved – as an advocate and active sex worker myself – to help bring proactive change and growth to our community while using my voice and platform in a way that can make a difference and impact the lives of my fellow community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amy-Marie Merrell, Executive Director of The Cupcake Girls, enthused, \u201cI\u2019m delighted to have such a force for positive community and culture on my board team within Sofia! She\u2019s such a force in the community, and I can\u2019t wait to see what we accomplish together!\u201d<\/p>\n
Board Chairwoman Charlotte Stokely added, \u201cAs an advocate and mentor of my industry peers for two decades, I know the immense empathy and dedication that\u2019s necessary to be consistent in true support within this industry at all levels. I\u2019ve been in awe of Sofia Rose for about four years now, having shared space with her on multiple panels we\u2019ve done together dedicated to helping our peers, whether it be mentally, financially or giving advice on how to succeed in this industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Chairwoman of The Cupcake Girls Org, I am so grateful I called Sofia to ask her if she\u2019s interested in taking this valuable role as Board Member. Not only is the seat of value, but the value that she herself brings as a whole is immeasurable. She has personally without expectation helped our industry peers without conditions and without seeking recognition for years. You wouldn\u2019t believe what Sofia has done on her own behind closed doors! She deserves this recognition and title.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso important to mention is that I\u2019m so elated to have another sex worker on board! Keep your eyes open, cuz I feel Sofia is just getting started and I tell you without a doubt she is a full force of nature, and with her empowering love, support and well-educated sense of direction in guidance, The Cupcake Girls Org is heading in the best direction possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
