Grooby's Kristel Penn to Speak at CatalystCon on Sunday

LOS ANGELES — Grooby’s Marketing and Editorial Director Kristel Penn will be presenting a workshop, “Porn Tasting 101: Consumption for the Curious,” at CatalystCon in Los Angeles this Sunday. The workshop will be co-presented with Traci Medeiros-Bagan, licensed marriage and family therapist, and through wellness practice group Meld x Mend.

“Traci and I are both passionate about destigmatizing porn and its consumption,” Penn said. “It’s a place that overlaps both of our fields: the adult industry and mental health. We’ve been doing various incarnations of this specific topic for the last two years and we’re excited about its inclusion in CatalystCon’s lineup.” 

There will be a chance to win copies of Grooby’s “Real Fucking Girls” and “Real Fucking Girls 2,” plus prizes from Bad Dragon.

Penn, winner of the 2017 XBIZ Exec Award for Brand Ambassador of the Year, Medeiros-Bagan will be speaking from 11:30 a.m.-12:40 p.m. (PDT) in the Scottsdale room at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel.
