Today we’d like to introduce you to Aderes Quin
Hi Aderes, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I love to learn.
Sometimes, its through example, but most of the time its trial and error.
I am a “kinstetic” learner. I have to feel it to understand it – put my hands on it, my body in it, my brian solving it in real time… to GET it.
As a very physical person, I have learned to genuinely ENJOY physical exhaustion, and see it as a sign of success.
I sought out paths of the most effort, while believing my commitment to eating right and staying active would be enough to keep me feeling young and healthy.
At 13 years old I was diagnosed as having the autoimmune disease, Celiac, which is not an allergy, but a disease where the wheat protein gluten triggers an immune response (like a virus) and my own body starts attacking itself.
Discovering this at 13 forced me to look at food very differently. Marketing ploys like slogans and pretty boxes no longer mattered, the ingredient list became EVERYTHING. The shift in my focus was an entire shift in my lifestyle, and I became the healthiest person I knew. I played soccer growing up and continued to work out regularly as I entered my 20s and beyond, eating right, staying physical, and taking on the challenge of being a restaurant manager, and then a mom.
In 2022, in the middle of COVID, I started to have horrible migraines, something I never had before, these happened daily for months, but MRI appointments were hard to schedule in the middle of covid.
When I finally discovered the headaches were not migraines, but a tumor growing quickly in my brain, I did not have time to be confused. I was rushed into surgery to remove what they could and get tissue for a biopsy.
Six months of multiple surgeries, doctors appointments, hospital stays, and radiation followed. Thankfully, it wasn’t cancer, but they wanted to make sure it didn’t grow back, recommending radiation. I agreed, while also taking a different approach – completely changing my diet, my environment, but most importantly my mental space, redefining what it meant for me to be “healthy.”
I had to consider my work in this shift. The bills were adding up and the “workaholic” still couldn’t work, but what I realized might suprise you.
A few years prior, I jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon and applied my restaurant manager work ethic to my own brand, starting with marketing my feet then working my way up, eventually creating a loyal fanbase and several genuine friendships.
In my eyes, being in the hospital was the most important test for a content creator…
“What happens when I get sick and can’t work?”
The experience made me realize I am MORE secure with my finance in these emergency situations than I would ever be in a “civilian” job. It was a relief and a comfort to know the content and relationships I made would support me through the good and bad surprises.
And yet, society disparages individuals from this type of work. We are told it is not healthy, and not a “real” job.
The contradiction in the safety and security it can actually provide, and the way society views it, motivated me to start my YouTube channel and ask, explore, and discover, “What is Healthy?” when it comes to being human and when it comes to sex?
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not! I do not believe any path worth walking is clear and smooth. Illnesses, heartbreak, depression, self-doubt, losing friends, losing family, losing platforms! We all go through struggles, which is why we should always move with love toward each other.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My feet! Advocating for the fetishists! We are here for such a short time and we should be ENJOYING ourselves!
Autheticity is what sets me apart from others. I genuinely want to make people feel seen, heard, LOVED.
I am lucky enough to have always worked directly with the public, and I think what really makes me different is I enjoy people and making people feel good.
I try my best to do that with my content, as well as my vibe.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Be relentless, an active listner, know who you are, where you want to be, where you want to grow, and your story.
Most importantly, know what you want.
