What were you like back in high school? Who did you hang out with/date?

"Back in high school, I was trying to be the best straight boy that I could be for society. I was one of the music kids in the orchestra playing the viola and a tenor 1 in show choir. I ended up getting heavily involved with mind-altering substances for the last two years in school and went from being a goody two-shoes to trying to be the party boy. I really was just trying to evade my reality of confusion as it related to my gender and sexuality with no support or understanding."

Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry? Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

"To be honest, I really knew nothing about porn or anyone in the industry. I still am learning as I go along and I have much to learn still. Over the last five years or so ,I have only watched fellow webcammers over porn. I now watch porn for career development and educational purposes."

What kind of scene have you found is your favorite kind to do so far?

"I enjoy doing virtual reality scenes more than anything else. They allow me to do what I do best which is be me. I have been a camgirl for almost five years now so I LOVE being able to play to the camera. I also LOVE being able to use the male talent how I want to use them rather than the other way around."

What/who do you want to do on-camera that you haven’t done yet?

"I want to do heavy kink scenes. Full male objectivity and submission. I want to make content that would be a mix of American Horror Story and porn, stuff that makes you go 'NO NO NO you aren't supposed to do that'. It's just too wrong. I also would like to do a gangbang scene but am a bit apprehensive of my insides falling out after the scene is through. LOL but really."

Who is your favorite performer to work with so far and why?

"OK, I am so bad at favorites because I find that every one or thing has something to offer. My first hardcore scene was with Pierce Paris and he was so nice, consoling and helpful prior and during the scene. Then I shot with Colby Jansen and he was also so sweet but he was totally into me and that made for a really great connection while we were shooting together."

You respond to your fans a lot on Twitter. What do you like most about talking to your fans on social media?

"I love the engagement and feedback. I learn a lot from what they have to say and it gives me more insight and perspective that I may not have previously had. Ultimately without them I cannot be successful. I have even made content with some of my fans before."

How did you become a porn performer? What led you down that career path?

"I started as a camgirl back in 2014. I did it off and on for two years. Then in 2016, I switched platforms and went to Chaturbate and began to cam more regularly. In fall of 2017 I began to make my own content and sell it on clips4sale, manyvids, and onlyfans. This is when I decided I was going to start a career in the adult industry. In May of 2018, I moved to Portland, Oregon to advance my career in adult film and as a Pro Domme. Since May, I have shot 8 scenes in mainstream porn. I have always been an entertainer ever since I was a toddler and I have been so sexual since I can remember. I guess it only made sense that I would finally end up in this line of work. I'm so glad I finally allowed myself to do it."

What do you think that people assume about trans porn performers that simply is not true?

"Honestly, I bet that most assumptions about trans performers are not true. There are so many that I wouldn't even know where to begin. Most of society has a practice of speaking for trans people without involving us. You can see this from the terms that producers use to describe trans performers (which are dated/a misrepresentation and harmful), to the stories that politicians tell about us, to the negative sentiment felt by most of society towards trans people. It's a travesty that trans people are seldom if ever brought to the table of discussion when being spoken about but that's how the majority group affirms its power over minority groups...by speaking about and for them. "

What would you most like to achieve in the porn industry?

"Social activism, education, and better representation. I have come to find that this industry is wrought with sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and the like. The porn industry is what educates the American population on sexuality since our school systems did not. Human sexuality is vast and complex and the representation has been from two narratives the cis het white male and the cis gay white male. We need minorities to begin to tell their stories, realities, sexualities and more. We need to expunge the prejudice and ignorance. We need education on consent, communication and better practices on how to treat one another."

What do you love most about being in porn?

"I am still a baby when it comes to mainstream porn and it is a vastly different experience than doing webcam and making my own content. I love how free I am as an amateur porn producer and camgirl. I get to write the script, tell my story and literally bring education to combat a lot of misinformation and prejudice. With mainstream porn, I get to network, learn higher-end production value, and develop more as an entertainer. Also, it is very challenging for me as a person but also as a worker. I don't get to call the shots and no one really tells you what you can and can not do. It's highly ambiguous."

What do you think are “must-have” DVDs for your fans?

"Well for sure my first hardcore scene with VRBangers Trans and my Grooby Girl VR Scene. I feel like I am my best when I get to take the lead."

What do you like to do for fun?

"Entertain people, drink coffee, talk and learn about society, challenge my thought patterns and others, develop new lifestyle practices, break my conditioned states of existence and reality... over and over and over, and travel."

What are your favorite fetishes to explore on camera?

"Male submissions, gagging, exploitation, humiliation, degradation, and filth."

Who are your role models in porn?

"I'd have to say Lena Kelly, Casey Kisses, Shiri Allwood, TS Foxxy, Jessy Dubai, Chanel Santini, Aubrey Kate, and Natalie Mars. These women I have felt so self-conscious about. This morning, I finally put that down and realized how amazing they are. I don't need to be thinking about competing with them but rather understand that these women are dealing with very similar challenges that I face. I do hope to befriend them sometime during my career."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"I just went and saw Venom. That's the first one I have seen in some time as I have been working so much. I really enjoyed it and almost cried. I would definitely recommend it."

How about the best porno movie? Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

"I absolutely love Trans Angel's productions. I love their content and the production value they put behind their work. It would be a dream to shoot with them."

What is coming up for you?

"A bunch of travel, making more of my own content, and still doing my webcam shows. I might have a gangbang scene lined up in November but it's not fully confirmed. I'd love to shoot more scenes soon. Please let some producers know I'm available."

If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be?

"I've never been starstruck by celebs. Hasn't ever been my thing. I think I'd much rather enjoy having sex with everyday people."

What single piece of advice would you give a brand new porn performer?

"Don't be afraid to state your needs, there's nothing these people haven't already seen or heard before and remember it's gonna be OK."

Is there anything you want to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

"Thanks for taking the time to read this and support my work. Were it not for you I wouldn't be able to keep doing this. Now go purchase my content and pay my rent, slut."
