LOS ANGELES — HotMovies has teamed with Free Speech Coalition (FSC) to honor Black History Month with an IG Live interview series hosted by FSC Industry Relations Advocate Lotus Lain.
The series kicks off Wednesday at 12 p.m. (PST) with Ricky Johnson.
"Being that there is just so much incredible Black talent out there these days, I wanted to highlight some of the creators I see making waves in the industry for Black History Month through fun IG live interviews,” Lain said. “There are new performers and some that have achieved top-star status; our last interview at the end of the month, with Mr. Marcus, will even touch on a career that has been controversial.”
“I’m looking forward to hearing people's journeys, who they [admired] and what legacy they hope to leave upon the industry,” Lain added.
HotMovies Social Media Manager Judy Hologram described Lain as "a rock star."
“We initially approached her to do one interview for us and she ran with it, resulting in this exciting month-long interview series," said Hologram. "In celebrating Black excellence on our platform, we knew it was important to take leadership from within porn’s Black community. We hope that highlighting Lotus’ voice, and others, will spark important conversations in the industry and lead to much-needed changes benefitting performers of color.”
