WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Demi Sutra and Ana Foxxx co-hosted the second annual Black History Month Dinner honoring Black performers and creators.
The event, created by Sutra in 2019, was held Sunday at a private dining area in the West Hollywood restaurant Catch LA.
“The attendees had their very own staff, and so many Black stars in mainstream porn and also independent contact creators lined the tables with smiles and laughter,” a rep described.
Sutra said she came up with the idea to celebrate Black History Month in 2019 “upon the realization that nobody else was going to do it. Myself and several others like Ana Foxxx were feeling pretty let down by the industry back then.”
Sutra praised Foxxx for “helping me with this since 2019. She goes out of her way to uplift the Black community in porn and I would not be here without her breaking down the doors that I eventually walked through.”
Foxxx said she “couldn’t be more proud to host such a beautiful event for so many amazing people. I really have to thank Demi for being as strong and as outspoken as I am. Together, we were able to do something that’s never been done before. I only hope that it can grow bigger so that way more people can celebrate Black History Month with us.”
Sutra also thanked Brazzers as “the first ever professional porn company to sponsor the Black History Month Dinner,” adding that she “could not imagine myself being on another team. Brazzers not only helped financially, but also helped me with the organization and planning it all. Thank you Brazzers, I love you!”
Sutra also had words of appreciation for Kira Noir, who also sponsored the dinner. “Kira’s going to be mad I mentioned her, but she deserves her flowers for helping out,” she added.
The organizers are currently seeking sponsorship for next year’s dinner. “We plan for it to be even bigger and better,” Sutra explained. “The celebration of Black people in this industry is my main priority, and always has been. Watching this come together with the help of my cohost and Brazzers has me consistently tearing up.”
Attendees included noted industry performers such as Misty Stone, Isaiah Maxwell, Kira Noir and Ricky Johnson, and also content creators like Miss B Nasty and Destiny Mira.
“There were so many more to name, and the list will for sure grow longer in the years to come,” Sutra concluded. “I can’t thank you enough.”
