LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support reps will attend the XBIZ Miami conference next week, where the organization will host a panel as well as a private retreat space for creators, sponsored by Stripchat.
“Our retreat space will allow creators to relax and recharge, with food, teas, phone charging stations and presentations by other creators,” said Pineapple Support founder and CEO Leya Tanit. “It’s a space where creators can be themselves, without any pressure to perform.”
The space will host two ‘Community Talk’ panel discussions sponsored by Stripchat: one by Dan Leal on May 16 at 5 p.m. and another by Pineapple Support ambassador Sabien Demonia on May 17 at 3 p.m.
Pineapple Support mental health practitioners will be on hand throughout the day. A special Pineapple Support therapist will be present at the retreat space to speak with anyone healing after sexual trauma, and Svakom will provide pleasure products to those who have experienced sexual trauma and want to relearn self-care.
The retreat space, sponsored by Stripchat, can be found at the poolside bungalow area and will be open each day of the event from 12 p.m. until closing.
Pineapple Support will also host a panel discussion at XBIZ Miami, “How to Advocate for Yourself On Set,” focusing on the difficulties, processes and solutions around communicating your needs on set as a performer. The panel will be moderated by Steven Mollura and will include Ana Foxx, Shaundam, Sofia Rose, Lucy Hart, Nyssa Nevers, Sabien DeMonia and Devin Green.
“While many come to Miami to celebrate, our emotional needs still need to be taken care of,” Tanit said. “Pineapple Support will be here to help performers that want a break from the parties, as well as to provide a safe place to heal and learn from both peers and mental health experts. It's a space that will leave you feeling better and more empowered than you came. I can’t thank Stripchat enough for their generous support.”
XBIZ Miami will take place in South Beach, Miami from May 15 to 18. To learn more and view the full conference schedule, click here. To learn about becoming a sponsor of Pineapple Support, click here.
