Hannah Martinez Whore ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Los Angeles

Lemme tell ya, whore’s got history. Back in the day, old English “hore”—meant dirty, but also desire. Ain’t that a trip? Like, society tryna box it in, but it’s too big, too bold. Makes me mad as hell—why they gotta judge? Whore’s out here breakin rules, makin jaws drop. I’m like, yaaas, get it, queen! It’s givin main character vibes.

Her forthcoming memoir in essays, Someday Mija, You'll Learn the Difference Between a Whore and a Working Woman, covers her childhood in Salt Lake City/South Central/Boyle Heights .

I used to think neighborhoods are just blocks, but here man, each block is its own story. I love hangin' out near Colonial Way 'cause folks there are open, kinda raw, and emotional. And trust me on this—emotions run wild. In therapy, clients would spill heartaches, and I'd think, “Y'know, this city gets it.” And popcorn? Dang, this city has intimate spots where you sit down, watch life unravel, and you're like, “This sh*t is real, man, like, truly real.”
