I really wanted to thank Bree Mills, Radius Dark, Joey Silvera, Jim Powers, Tom Moore, Ricky Greenwood, Lance Hart, Christian XXX, and all of the directors and producers who have provided me countless opportunities to get better and better over the years. I would like to thank all of my hot and sexy co-stars who’ve appeared alongside me in my scenes, I consider so many of you close friends. I’d like to thank my fans for supporting me. This would not be POSSIBLE without you. My publisher and friend, Kristel Penn, she has been one of my biggest supporters throughout all of these years. 

“I’d like to thank Chaturbate for providing the platform I got recognized on. It’s been life-changing and a huge part of how I got here today. ALL of the members over at XBIZ for putting the show together, it seriously has brought me so many valuable connections and has taught me a wealth of information about our industry. Even through the craziness of the pandemic, you all pulled it off!! It was amazing, thank you! And lastly, I’d like to thank my girlfriend, Kylie Le Beau. She’s my editor, my co-star, my shoulder to rest on, my best friend, and most of all, the love of my life. I love you, baby. 2021 is our year. Let’s get it!”

Grooby’s Kristel Penn Wins XBIZ Industry Exec “Community Figure of the Year” Award

LOS ANGELES, CA - Grooby’s longtime Creative and Editorial Director, Kristel Penn, took home the coveted XBIZ Industry Exec Award for “Community Figure of the Year” last night. 

“This win holds personal significance to me because the ‘Community Figure of the Year’ category feels like an acknowledgment for being myself,” said Penn. “I spent most of my adolescence and early adulthood trying to hide my authentic self because the people around me made me feel like there was something wrong with me. As I mentioned last night, I was the weird kid, and then I was the closeted gay weird kid. At Grooby, and for the last 12 years working in the adult industry, I get to be exactly who I am. I know there is great privilege in that, and I’m honored that I get to use my privilege, my voice, and my platform through Grooby to support and uplift the trans adult community.”

In 2017, Penn won the XBIZ Industry Exec Award for “Brand Ambassador of the Year” for her work with Grooby. She was also nominated in previous years for “Marketing Executive of the Year” and “WIA Woman of the Year.” 

“Congratulations to Kristel on her XBIZ win,” said Grooby founder, Steven Grooby. “I don't believe most people really know how much goes on behind the scenes and what she does to try and reach out, and make sure that people in the trans adult community and the wider adult community are doing well, or helping them if they're struggling. She's brought a number of initiatives to the table that Grooby has acted on, and more than she does personally and through her other platforms. We look forward to continuing to encourage and support her where and when we can.  Thank you to XBIZ for honoring someone who very much deserves a win this year.”

Penn continued, “I want to extend my sincere gratitude to XBIZ and my colleagues who voted for me this past year. I also want to thank Steven Grooby for taking a chance on me 12 years ago and for giving me the guidance and space to make a place for myself in our industry. I also want to dedicate my win to my Grooby partner-in-crime, Sparky Snakeden, who passed away last year from cancer. He believed in me as ‘Kristel Penn’ long before I did. If I felt like I wasn’t important enough or cool enough to be at a work function, he’d assure me I was and he’d accompany me with a confidence that I simply did not have. His support throughout our friendship has helped shape me into the person I am today in this industry.” 

In addition to being Grooby’s Creative and Editorial Director, Penn is also the Executive Producer of the Transgender Erotica Awards, created by Grooby over 13 years ago. In 2016, she started boutique PR and marketing firm, IkigaiMarketing.com, with a roster that includes many of the trans adult industry’s top performers. Follow her on Twitter at @thekristelpenn. 

Most recently, Penn started Sad But Rad Club, an initiative to change the narrative of mental health and wellness. More information can be found at SadButRadClub.com.

Violet Monroe to Discuss Identity and Consumer Demand at XBIZ Show

CYBERSPACE - Industry veteran Violet Monroe is slated as a panelist for “Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content” as part of the XBIZ Show.

“As someone who has been in the adult industry for over 11 years now, I’ve built a lot of my career on creating content that doesn’t necessarily align with my own identity,” says Monroe. “Porn is about fantasy, illusion, and it’s something I’ve had to consciously navigate to be successful without compromising myself. I’m excited to discuss this topic and share my experiences alongside my fellow presenters.” 

“Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content” will be hosted virtually on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, from 1-2pm PST. 

The workshop description is as follows: 

Sexually Fluid: Meeting Consumer Demand for Genre-Defying Content

The rapid ascendancy of performer-generated content has blurred cisgender norms and the once-rigid lines that defined straight, gay, bi and trans content. Greater acceptance has led to a unique consumer demand. Learn what it takes to come up with genre-defying concepts that better suit the needs of a diverse audience.

Grooby’s Kristel Penn Nominated for XBIZ’s Exec’s “Community Figure of the Year”

LOS ANGELES, CA - Grooby is proud to announce that their longtime Creative and Editorial Director, Kristel Penn, has been nominated for XBIZ’s Exec Awards. 

“It would have been an honor to be nominated in any category,” explains Penn, “but the ‘Community Figure of the Year’ award holds personal significance to me. Grooby, in many ways, is a small business and can’t compete with the budgets of the big studios, but we utilize all of our resources and pour it back into our performers. This includes concrete things like creating more opportunities for performers shooting with us, but also extends to less measurable efforts like increasing the visibility and acceptance of trans performers in our industry and supporting the trans community as a whole.”

Penn joined Grooby in 2008 when the company was still based in Hawaii. She is also the Executive Producer of the Transgender Erotica Awards, which celebrates the accomplishments of the trans adult industry. 

The annual XBIZ Exec Awards honors the best of the best from the adult business community, celebrating outstanding career achievement across a wide variety of prominent industry roles. Nominees are selected based on a range of success factors including business acumen, community standing and overall leadership.

Voting for the 2021 XBIZ Exec Awards is now open. Industry members may cast their votes here. Winners will be announced early next year. 

Penn adds, “As always, I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to Steven (Grooby). Through Grooby, he has given me a platform to use my voice and encourages me to do as myself. Without him, there would essentially be no ‘Kristel Penn’ as a public figure in our industry. 

To a certain extent, for anyone, it is a privilege to be able to live authentically both personally and professionally. For someone like me who grew up being bullied throughout high school for being gay and just honestly different than my classmates, being nominated for my work with Grooby and in the adult industry feels like being honored for my identity. Win or lose, I am grateful for the nomination and recognition from my colleagues and friends here.”
