I’m so grateful to the creative, art, culture communities for being so vocal about the exploitation we face in these industries. Often comments like “oh but you’re so lucky being an artist” don’t take into consideration the low wages, infrequent payments, ghosting that goes on…
Many youth, women, LGBTI+ folk are being underpaid for their work. This is why I help friends in the EU prep for salary negotiations, hoping they don’t get screwed over like me & others have in the past. Yet as a Maltese trans freelancer my asks might still be on the low side.
