Grooby's Black-TGirls.com Marks 20th Anniversary

LOS ANGELES — Trans powerhouse Grooby is marking the milestone 20th anniversary of Black-Tgirls.com.

As the 1990s drew to a close, Grooby’s founder, Steven Grooby, tested the idea of spinning off GroobyGirls, then known as ShemaleYum.

"The requests for more and more black content were building," Grooby recalled. "In those days we were still shooting on film, with no video, and each week was a fight to find new models. In those early internet days, it was a struggle to find new talent, with producers having to scour local personals or trawl the streets looking for potential models. It made both logical and economic sense to separate the sites.”

In due course, Black-Tgirls made its debut. The site has grown to include over 1400 performers, among them top stars Kayla Coxx, Natassia Dreams, Sexxy Jade, Victoria Porsche, Megan Snow and mainstream breakout TS Madison.

In 1999, the site’s creative team was The Commander, Tony Vee, Vegas Bob and Video Bob; the directorial squad in 2019 includes Radius Dark, Jack Flash, Kila Kali, Omar Wax and Buddy Wood.

Steven Grooby remains disappointed that Black-Tgirls largely has the field to itself.

“I think it's a travesty how few black performers get to work for other companies and projects considering the amount of talent out there,” he said. “I'm a huge fan of the site and the girls; it's a privilege to be able to work with so many and to be able to provide a platform to showcase these gorgeous women and to be able to use that platform to also educate and promote on trans issues and inclusion.”

“I'd like to thank all the models, the producers and the supporters who have been able to keep this site at the forefront of trans erotica over the last two decades,” he continued, “and I look forward to continuing to grow in the future years."

In related news, Grooby recently rolled out a new DVD series anchored by newcomer starlets from the site. In August, Black-Tgirls earned an Urban X Awards citation as Best Trans Website; the kudo was the site’s first-ever awards recognition.
