Joy: Sex workers, grandchildren and cancer
Episode 7
Friday, 2 May, 2025

Joy is in her sixties, she has three children and seven grandchildren, three of which she has raised herself as a single grandparent. One of Joy's children is a sex worker and, alongside her choice of industry, her parenting capacity has been compromised in numerous ways. Joy has stepped in each time to raise the children and guide the family. Joy has survived cancer and, with the news of a potential return of the illness, she had to make some big decisions. Chatting with Joy has been a pleasure - she speaks from a place of deep unconditional love and understanding and I had to ask myself: how would I cope? All the names in this story have been changed to protect the family members.
