Soma Snakeoil is a queer artist, activist, meditation facilitator, Dominatrix and playwright.
During her earlier career as a fetish model and adult film actor, she created hundreds of titles including her own, Rubber Bordello, Feminist Porn Award and multiple AVN-award-winning, which she wrote, directed and produced.
After ten years working as a writer on the musical ‘Home Street Home’, she was moved to spearhead The Sidewalk Project a social activist arts and public health organization that works directly on the street with our houseless community in Los Angeles, with a concerted effort towards supporting sex workers and syringe exchange for people who use drugs.
Soma’s passion for the houseless community comes from lived experience as a long term former drug user, being unhoused, and almost 18 years of sex work, including survival sex. She believes in the importance of intersectional activism with a personal interest in racial justice, addressing gender based violence, decriminalization of sex work and drug use, empowerment of the unhoused community, women and the queer community, and confronting stigma.
