Why no Black Tgirls nominated for AVN? Xbiz? Tranny Awards?

[GroobySteven]

I can't believe it's taken until yesterday for someone to notice (on Twitter), I've been waiting since I announced the nominees.
We've got two black photographers nominated for the Tranny Awards.
We've got a black male performer nominated.
We've got a black tgirls solo website (Sweetcheeks).

Where is the love for Best Model, Best New Model, Best Hardcore Performer?
Mia Isabella does feature but it seems like sometimes she's promoted as a black model and other times not. Where are the girls from this site? The Sashas, Paris's, Ambers, Uniques, Kaylas, Chynas, etc, etc.

We had then nominations open for a month on the Tranny Awards and promoted on this site and barely a squeak - we have precedence, Natassia Dreams was the inaugural Best Model Winner in 2008.

Why are no black girls getting pushed forward to Xbiz or AVN? I didn't put any forward as I refuse to nominate for AVN and Xbiz I'd filled up my form with other girls.

Is it that black models aren't getting the same exposure, is it that they don't have PR people or are pushing themselves hard enough to fans on forums and social media? Are we just missing the "stars" that always seemed to be nominated like Natassia, Sexy Jade, etc.?

Discuss?

It's really wierd to me, but after you posted this thread and no responses it seems there fans are a BIG part of the reason why, as there's not a peep on here..

I can only speak for the few black tgirls I know and it seems independently they spend more of there money and time creating there sites and there images then other races with no recognition...

As for as being a photographer I don't dwell too much in the porn world but I do notice some girls who majorly stand out Paris, Sasha, Madison... With content in abundance, usually having more updates then half the girls in the biz...

It's a bewilderment! I know then guys ask why they become hateful and only focus on money because it seems the money is the only thing that CARES

I also think when grooby first brought out Jade & Natassia there was less Stars to choose from and they got a chance to shine were today's Black Tgirl isn't getting the same push from all companies, so we are not seeing there full potential

Let me personally pick up the slack and nominate myself for bestest new model, although I can't imagine it works that way.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and cosign with the 2nd post. It seems more or less that the fans just aren't putting their support out there.

i think its an exposure thing...ive been trying forever to break out side of black tgirls to a wider demographic group,looks like it finally might happen for me tho

I think more black tgirls need to focus on starring and releasing their own DVD's not only just promoting their website or side hustles. Then I think they would get more nominations. And at the very least I would buy the extra DVD's.

Bingo. Just promoting a website and escorting is seen as trashy, in a way. How do I know this? Because I'm a marketing and branding expert. A lot of them have to learn how to do what they do and make it look classy. Some people may get mad at this comment, but it's the truth.

Nobody releases their own DVD's and if they do they don't get enough exposure to make it worth while. The girls need to be on the front of DVD's released by other companies. The thing is, this did happen this year. We released two black DVD's - one of which is nominated for an award.

You might be a marketing and branding expert in some fields but not for porn. Classy has nothing to do with it - engaging your fans everything.
