Transgender Wharton Student Featured In Unusually Long Buzzfeed Article

Buzzfeed, the source of such intellectual content as "19 GIFs That Prove Beyoncé And Nicki Are #FriendshipGoals Defined", recently published a 5100+ word opus on Jara Krys, a transgender woman at Penn who is building a career as a high-profile sex worker. Legal questions aside, it is an interesting story. So interesting, in fact, that Buzzfeed published 5100+ words on it. Buzzfeed doesn't publish 5100+ words on anything! 

Krys has been in the industry for a few years now and has spent a long time struggling with the stigmas associated with being transgender and working in the sex industry. She's finally hitting her stride and using that good ole Wharton touch to build her brand and expand her business. Not only does she wish to become an elite, high-profile escort, but she also hopes to advocate for sex worker rights and trans equality. While this particular line of work may not be what Wharton higher-ups are thinking of when they advocate for entrepreneurship education, it's certainly more interesting than any other Penn startup.
