A FLINTSHIRE Only Fans model has given her own Tedx talk about her experiences in the industry.
Alaw Haf, of Mold, one of the top 2.6 per cent of OnlyFans content creators, was invited to give the talk in London on a subject she describes as being important to her.
Tedx described the talk, saying: “Alaw comes onto TEDx to talk about her experiences as a sex worker on the site OnlyFans. The misconceptions she has faced and the struggles she has outside of her industry. Alaw's talk is a refreshing take on the subject and one everyone should listen to.
“Alaw’s interests and skillset are varied and multifaceted, she has openly spoken about the misconceptions of her job and her, the hardships and successes she has had also."

The talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organised by a local community.
Alaw said: “I was honoured to have been invited especially to talk about a subject that is so important to me - breaking down stigma - and was also very nervous because I haven’t done any public speaking before especially not to that scale so I made sure I practised, practised, practised.”
The former gym worker makes most of her content in her parents' home and garden as well as scenic North Wales locations like Talacre Beach, and is saving to buy her first home.
