Chuck Frickin-Bats is a queer, non-binary, disabled sex worker and published author.  They are in the Masters in Community Health and Social Justice program. After starting sex work in 2010, they quickly got involved in advocacy for their newfound community, and that is what drives their education. Through school, Chuck found a passion for research and plans to continue writing about the stigmatization of the sex trade and health. A common adage in the movement is, “Nothing about us without us.” This is their first year on the Crow Editorial board and they can’t wait to see what this adventure will bring. They recently dubbed themselves the ‘Donation Coordinatrix’ for Red Cedar Community Network who assist the unhoused. In Chuck’s downtime, they stress about their plants and clean their house while obsessively listening to Sleep Token and devouring audiobooks. Chuck's other obsession is bats, and to them, Halloween is more than just a holiday, it’s a lifestyle.
