Natashia Wilson

is a Las Vegas native who spent more than 20 years in the sex industry as a prostitute. She was involved in this traumatic lifestyle from the age of 14 to 35-years -old.

In a recent interview with the Chattanooga Times Free Press, she discussed her experience working the D Street in Las Vegas, her triumphant accomplishment of obtaining an Associates Degree at Chattanooga Community College, and becoming a spokesmodel for the organization Voices for Dignity, who advocates on behalf of sexually, mentally, physically, and verbally abused women.

Natashia aspires to start her own group called “The Square Girls” to support and assist women who have experienced any traumatic life experience and are looking to discover their individual life purpose. She would love to focus her efforts working with women coming out of prostitution to show them the steps needed to begin a new life.

Natashia shared with us a list of affirmations she repeats to herself every morning. Local painter, Megan Ellison, used these to create the portrait you see now. Natashia reads these affirmations with hope. She wants them to inspire others to have a positive self-image and to allow themselves to heal and move forward.
