LAS VEGAS — Sofia Rose has announced she will donate 100% of her paycheck for her new Brazzers scene to the Empowerment Fund, a new initiative she co-created with Eliza Allure, Amberly Rothfield and the Cupcake Girls to support minority sex workers and causes such as Black Lives Matter.
Rose, according to a rep, “will be self-shooting a brand-new scene for Brazzers this week, and will donate 100% of her paycheck proceeds to these organizations in the fight against anti-black racism while helping fund her fellow performers during COVID-19 lockdown.”
Rose expressed concern about "involuntary complacency" regarding racism and minority communities.
“Coming from a low-income single-parent home, I know the struggles and often offer my own support to marginalized and survival sex workers," she stated.
Besides the monetary donation, Rose restated her personal commitment to support local minority-owned businesses and to steer away from large corporations that do not support marginalized communities.
“Anyone can make noise on social media, but so few act in ways that propel change,” Rose added. “It is important to back up words with solid action, which is why I am donating and helping in any way I can. I don’t usually like to discuss charity publicly; however, given the current social climate, I’m hoping it challenges others in the industry to do the same.”
According to a rep, “funds raised through the Empowerment Fund will help with rent assistance, healthcare, groceries and legal aid, with unfettered access to any resources and means they may need to survive and thrive during these uncertain times.”
