Elly Arrow and Sybil Jo are joined by Emelee Dahla to trace her life story through childhood internet stardom, grooming by men and “choice feminist” rhetoric into exploitation on OnlyFans, and her ultimate self-liberation from the porn industry and toward real feminist analysis and advocacy. We touch on the many myths surrounding OnlyFans among both supporters and critics, the psychological and cultural effects of digital objectification, the perils of internet culture, censorship of feminist discourse, and what to do in the face of it all.

In Part 1 of "Inanna's Journey through the Underworld", we used a 5,000-year-old myth to explore how the sexual exploitation industry strips victim-survivors of all their worldly possessions, leaving us bare - materially, mentally and spiritually - and in a state of living-death.In this part 2, we learn how the Queen of Heaven and Earth, with the help of her loyal friends, is saved from the clutches of Death. But living through trauma is only half the battle. In addition to ridicule and apathy from society's power structures, we carry painful demons from our time in The Great Below. Sybil Jo and Elly Arrow discuss the work that is needed to support victim-survivors as we re-enter society.
