Sukki Singapora is a burlesque dancer and activist from the Goodman Road area of East Singapore, who became the first woman to legally perform burlesque in Singapore in February 2015. After establishing her Facebook Page, Sukki began to receive messages from women all around the world, praising her stance on self-expression and equality for women. She noticed that many of the messages were from women back home in Singapore, telling her she was an inspiration. Many of them asked for advice about burlesque and performing, so Sukki created a closed Facebook Group for these women called The Singapore Burlesque Society. Through the group, women could talk openly about burlesque, trade tips, and plan workshops in a confidential space. They bonded over how burlesque made them feel — in control over their own bodies and the way they express themselves.
