‘Some things just aren’t feasible for my body and that’s ok.’ Jojo Fox

Jojo Fox is a pole performer, studio owner, instructor, competition organiser and fellow vegan who lives with Level 4 Osteoarthritis. She is also neurodivergent and queer. In this episode we talk about her pole and mindset journey and the misconceptions some people have when it comes to disability.


She points out many things the pole industry could do to improve diversity when it comes to disability. For example advertising with a disabled poler or with a dancer using their mobility aid. We never see this. Why?


We talk the founding of her new competition Glow, and the UKPPC hiatus.


We delve deep into her mental health journey and how she dealt with harassment from a fellow pole instructor.


I learnt a lot from Jojo. For one thing I realised that competition organisers are usually just one person dealing with all the financial responsibility and a lot of risk. I also questioned the I way I tend to rush to achieve a trick and what cost that has on my body. Maybe being kinder to my body, taking my time and accepting its limitations is a better idea in the long run.


‘Some things just aren’t feasible for my body and that’s ok. You can be a performer, competitor and cool things without those things. You don’t need what you haven’t got.’
