Nelly explains how the venture into stripping served as a catalyst in her life, leading her towards liberation from disordered eating mentality. Pole dancing, she says, cultivated not just physical strength and flexibility, but also fostered body positivity and health, inspiring her to value her body not solely for its appearance but for its capabilities.
