Domino Presley Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary of ‘Jazmin Shibata Scholarship’ to Support Trans Sex Workers

LOS ANGELES, CA - Acclaimed adult star and philanthropist Domino Presley has added additional funds to the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship in celebration of the one-year anniversary of its inception.

“It is so important, in my opinion, to give back to your community,” says Presley. “I didn’t come from money and transitioning during a time before Caitlyn Jenner existed, there were very limited resources that actually helped trans women in their transition, specifically trans sex workers.”

Through the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship, trans sex workers in California are able to receive free therapy and letters of support for transition-related care from Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), Kristel Penn (Yoneda). Presley and Penn started the scholarship program together a year ago while Penn was a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) trainee at the LGBTQ Center in Orange County.

Presley added, “Trans sex workers are the backbone of the trans community. Mental health is not only important to me, but something I have struggled with my entire life. I have benefitted so much and learned how to truly love myself and accept myself and all of my transness  by going to therapy regularly. A lot of places require a letter of approval from a  therapist in order to fulfill one’s transition journey or even just a name change. Right now, during a time where society is really testing trans people daily… if not, hourly…I hope this scholarship can be even the tiniest glimmer of light in a trans sex workers day and make their journey a little less stressful.”

“It’s been about a year since the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship was created and it’s been wonderful to see firsthand how it’s being used in our community,” stated Kristel Penn. “When Domino approached me with the idea, I knew it was the start of something big and something much needed in our industry.”

Through the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship, qualified individuals will be able to receive at no cost to them, a free assessment and letter of support from Penn (AMFT) to be given to their doctor and/or insurance company that follows the criteria required by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).  

To those interested in learning more about the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship, please contact Kristel Penn directly at kristel@sadbutradtherapy.com.

Domino Presley and Gia Gunn Debut Collaboration on OnlyFans

LOS ANGELES, CA - Rupaul’s Drag Race alumni Gia Gunn makes her OnlyFans collab debut with multi-award-winning performer Domino Presley in a trio of scenes released on their respective accounts. 

“My journey from reality television and beauty influencing, to now into the adult entertainment world has had its challenges but nothing short of great experiences and lessons learned!” says Gia Gunn. “The reason I started Onlyfans in the first place was to take back my power and have the liberty to work on my own time with people that I adore and enjoy working with.”

“I absolutely loved working with Gia,” adds Domino Presley. “She and I have been friends for a while and we’ve linked up on projects outside of OnlyFans, but this was a very special experience to share this world with Gia.”  

Presley and Gunn have collaborated on their respective musical projects in the past. Gunn is featured on musical trio The Gurls’ hit track, “Glamour.” Presley also appears in Gunn’s music video for her song “La China Mas Latina.”

“Domino and I have been friends for over 5 years now,” recalls Gunn. “I remember reaching out to her on IG when I first moved to LA in hopes of creating a friendship and building sisterhood within the trans community. She was so gracious to invite me to her birthday dinner one night and the rest is now history! From our hikes in nature to supporting each other’s mental health and, of course, our obsession with sushi we have truly formed a genuine bond with one another!”

Domino adds, “Gia blew me away with what a natural she is on camera. She came across as another model who’s been doing adult content for years. She and I will definitely be doing many more collaborations on our OnlyFans in the future. Who knows, maybe she’s the adult industry’s  next big trans superstar. You will just have to wait and see what Miss Gia “The Boom Boom” Gunn does next.” 

“The shoot was super cute, sexy. and played off of our Japanese heritage giving it a little anime, kawaii feel,” explains Gunn. “Domino and I take great pride in being who we are in all aspects of life and can’t wait to continue shooting more content together and letting our genuine creativity do the talking!”

Presley and Gunn shot three themed scenes to be released on their respective OnlyFans pages: a nautical-themed romp, Skims swimwear, and a verbal domination scene with Gunn in control.

Trans Trio ‘The Gurls’ to Perform New Single at the 2023 TEAs

LOS ANGELES, CA - Musical trio The Gurls released their new single “Tell Me” today and is slated to perform it live for the first time at the upcoming Trans Erotica Awards presented by Ponhub on March 17, 2023 in Hollywood, CA. 

The Gurls’ upcoming performance at the TEAs will be in its newest incarnation, with founding members Domino Presley and Alissah, and welcoming former Secret Girls member, Raquel Starr. 

“This song is a catchy pop song that has sounds from girl groups of the past,” said Presley. “It’s like a really dirty Spice Girls song but with three Trans Women. Alissah and I wrote this song and when I was writing the chorus, I kept hearing my friend's voice in my head singing it, so we asked Raquel if she would come in and lay some vocals for the chorus. We all vibed so well and naturally that we ended up asking her to turn our duo into a trio. And here we are now.” 

The Gurls is scheduled to perform as the TEAs opening act this Sunday at the Avalon. Presley also serves as the TEAs official Mistress of Ceremonies. She added, “We’re basically going to bring the music video of ‘Tell Me’ to the stage for the Trans Erotica Awards. This will be our first time performing live as a trio and we are beyond honored that it will be at the world's only Trans Award show. I really really appreciate Steven and Kristel asking us to open the show again this year. Last year we performed as Alissah featuring Domino, this year we have two singles and music videos under our belts, a shit ton of performances (in the US as well as overseas) and are performing as THE GURLS.”

Alissah said, “We’re super excited about what’s to come. We’re elated to have our debut album come together so effortless. We’re finally a real girl group! The awards are always exciting. But this year it’s so much trans empowerment and visibility that it’s so inspiring. Our sound is so unique once we blend together.” 

Raquel Starr added, “When I found out that The Gurls wanted me to be part of this amazing project I was ecstatic! I’m very happy to be joining the iconic Domino Presley and Alissah in this amazing musical experience. I was nervous but I know I can meet their expectations. After they asked me to lay the vocals and be part of this sisterhood and amazing project, I realized that our journey had just begun. I will say that I have been having the most inspiring time having these two sisters next to me helping me to believe in myself when I had doubts and it has made this project stronger and turned this girl group into an amazing friendship and I can’t wait for our future…which looks like a lot of fun!” 

Alissah and Starr were members of different lineups of the world’s first trans girl group, The Secret Girls. The group was conceived and led by trans recording artist and television personality, Nikki Exotica. 

Fans will get a sneak peek at ‘Tell Me’ ahead of the music video’s official release on March 24, 2023. Produced by B. Ames, ‘Temm Me’ is the directorial debut of JETERBYDAMETER and the Gurls, with choreography by JETERDAMETER. 

“The video is cute,” Presley exclaimed. “It’s giving Trans TLC, Sugababes, Destiny’s Child realness. We styled the entire video ourselves. We, along with our longtime choreographer, Jeter (from HBO Max’s LEGENDARY Season 1), directed the video. And when I say ‘we,’ I mean mostly Jeter and Alissah.  I have previous experience in directing and organizing a shoot day from being in adult for so long and whenever I worked on mainstream music video sets, but the one thing that stood out the most is how horribly unorganized and chaotic their sets were. We ran an entire day smoothly with no hiccups, no drama, and we finished two hours early (insert massive hair toss).”

Domino Presley Creates ‘Jazmin Shibata Scholarship’ to Support Trans Sex Workers

LOS ANGELES, CA - Acclaimed adult star Domino Presley is proud to announce the launch of her trans sex worker support initiative, the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship. 

“I think it’s important to give back to your community whenever you can if you are able to do so,” explained Presley. “Trans sex workers are too often left in the dust. Everyone wants to look like an ally but doesn’t do the work or research to actually be an ally. I grew up with trans sex workers, I am a trans sex worker, I was the real-life, modern-day Pretty Woman, I’m just Trans and got paid more. So it just feels natural to throw the rope back and help wherever and whenever I can. I hope more girls who are of certain privilege do so as well.”

Adult industry trans advocate and therapist trainee Kristel Penn recently created a virtual support group for trans sex workers hosted by the LGBTQ Center in Orange County where Penn is completing their practicum. Through the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship, trans sex workers will be able to attend the group at no cost. Leading trans adult company, Grooby, also provides monetary sponsorship for the group. 

“For as long as I’ve known Domino, she has been a vocal advocate for mental health particularly for the trans sex worker community,” said Penn. “I have seen her use her platform so many times (and often without credit) to elevate the voices of other trans sex workers, but especially ones with smaller platforms than her or ones who are further marginalized in our industry. She is arguably one of the most well-known trans performers in our industry and I really respect that she wants to use her own resources to help others access care that may not be affordable to them otherwise.” 

Through the Jazmin Shibata Scholarship, funds have also been allocated to help pay for trans sex workers who are seeking letters of support for transition-related medical care. Qualified individuals will be able to receive at no cost to them, a free assessment and letter of support from Penn (MFT trainee) to be given to their doctor and/or insurance company that follows the criteria required by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).  

Presley explained, “A lot of girls can’t afford getting paperwork done that’s necessary for them to further their transition. They’re already struggling to pay rent, get medications, get insurance, pay for laser, and save for surgeries, and they have to deal with society on top of that. I’ve known Kristel for basically my entire career and she has helped my community in so many ways that often go unnoticed. When Kristel was telling me about this new group she had started and the letters of support she’s been writing for many trans folks, I immediately wanted to support in any way I possibly could. So I did.”
