Angel Kelly was among the first Black stars in the 80s to get a contract, co-direct a film, and to appear on Adult Video News. She was also part of the Pink Ladies, who were the first union that demanded that the industry provided testing for AIDS int he early 90s and better pay.

Pornography has been legal and considered separate from prostitution since 1988, see: US v. Freeman. Pornography online is not the same as prostitution. You are trying to put millions of consensual adults out of work based on your personal views, not the law.

In the 90s and early 2000s, Black women used the adult industry as a tool to leverage the perception of hypersexuality to promote their music and art. Now, more Black women are taking the role of filmmaker by directing and producing adult films. 🎥

With the rise of hip-hop and the confluence of dirty rap in the 90s, porn provided an opportunity for Black actors to have more work in an industry where they previously weren’t included.
