“It’s more than… just sex.” It’s your first impression of director Nenna from her website, and one that really encompasses what her work is about. Jumping head long into the queer porn revolution that’s radiating out of San Francisco, Nenna released her very first porno venture earlier this spring – and let me tell you, “Tight Places: A Drop Of Color” was no amateur attempt! With super high quality production and attention to finding performing partners with chemistry, this movie has raised the bar for what I want to see in someone’s first attempt behind the camera.

More than just making awesome porn, Nenna spends her time bringing ethnicity to the forefront of erotic photography and movies, focusing on the politics of race within the industry. In fact, her goal has continually been to empower Persons of Color through erotic and sexual material while dissecting stereotypical images and repainting them with deeper meaning.

A political, smart cookie (not to forget to mention – totally hot) making awesomely hot queer porn movies – how hot is that?!

1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I’ve been in the industry for some time now. Not many people know it, but I’ve have a adult toy site which I shut down some time ago. So, I’ve basically been hanging around looking at ways to stay in the industry. Last year I read about Reel Queer (Good Vibrations) [Productions] Film Company and finally got a meeting with Coyote Days. And, the rest is her-story. My first film, Tight Places: A Drop of Color, debuted on May 24th, 2010! With so much excitement, I’m here to stay!

2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I’d most likely be freelancing in the video community and/or working in technology as a Data Security or Network Engineer. Yes, I heart computers. I’ve worked with them all my life.

3. What’s the best thing you’ve learned or best advice you’ve received from industry?
Best Advice: It wouldn’t be porn if I didn’t get fucked as well. Key Learning: Shit never goes as planned, so quit planning and make shit happen.

4. What’s the funniest thing that’s happened while filming?
When I’m on set, I don’t allow my mind to wander to funny places. I step into a zone and stay there until my soul says its’ done. I would say that’s the athlete in me. Playing Basketball all my life and even in college has helped to keep the competitor in me alive.

5. What do you think is the biggest misconception about women in the industry?
That they are brainless sluts that have horrible upbringings, which is totally the opposite. All of the female or trans individuals I’ve met are doctors posing as rock stars. For individuals to give their bodies and faces to the plight of porn is no easy undertaking. However, the great reward is that people within your community do support you. I’ve never heard anything negative about directors or performers, which speaks to how most in porn want to see it succeed.

6. What did you do today?
Watching episodes of the Australian Hit series: Satisfaction which is about escorts whom have family structures, but are sex workers… with my Lover.

7. What would you rather have done today?
I would have rather been on the British island of Tortola shooting a film. It’s one of the few Caribbean islands I’ve been to that has an authentic feeling of peace and beauty. After shooting, well, I’d pray for a full moon so that the roads would be closed for the island’s biggest party over at the Bomba Shack.

8. If you could do a movie with anyone (living or brought back from the dead) who would it be?
James Dean because he was such incredible and believable actor. Although you won’t see me staring in any porn films, I am looking to get into commercial television work as well as mainstream acting.

9. Who is your favorite adult performer?
Kitten… I’ve seen a few scenes [of her] with women and it is so delectable.

10. You’ve got 20 bucks left to your name; what would you do with it?
$10 on Gas; and the other $10 on a Bake Sale Betty Sandwich (Fried Chicken & Coleslaw) shared with my Lover.

11. If you were president, what’s the first thing you’d change?
Unemployment. There are so many people out of work that it’s unfathomable to see the trickle down effects of having little to no money. 99 weeks is not enough time for individuals to get back on their feet, 1 million people, which is the maximum time allowable that individuals can receive unemployment benefits.

12. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?
Bought a computer in the parking lot of Home Depot that turned out to be a brick! I’ve only told 3 people besides HM4H: My Mother, Sister, and Lover. My Mother is a jokester so she still cracks up at that!

13. Which is your favorite project that you’ve worked on?
My favorite project is me! I’ve grown leaps and bounds to become a person whom can enjoy the life I’ve been given. My spirit feels at ease, my mind is free and my heart is alert — I’ll never be the same.

14. If you could have 1 superpower what would it be?
Since I love to travel, I would have to say flying. Flying would get me to places that cars can’t drive or have no runways for airplanes. I’d like to see 1 place in this world that man has never set foot.

15. Meat or veggie?
My family is from Arkansas and Lousiana… there is nothing like Fried Chicken, Collard Greens with Neck Bones, and Chitterlings on the side. I’m totally a meat eater!

16. What is your favorite book?
Every time I read a book I say it’s my favorite. But this time I really mean it! My favorite is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. My favorite interpretation in the book is to know when you go away and follow your dreams, that you should go and anyone whom stops you from going is not the love for you.

17. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Slouching is a HUGE pet peeve. A woman’s back is as beautiful as her face. I can see the confidence in a woman that sits straight-up. Not only does it speak volumes of her strength but it shows off your neck pretty well, I must say.

18. What is your best piece of sex advice for women?
Always envision you making love to yourself before you make love to anyone else. Visualization is a very powerful technique.

19. What is your favorite adult movie?
Trans Entities: The Nasty Love of Papi and Wil. This couple gives out some incredible energy that lets you know they are REAL! Everything from the knife play to the negotiation with their third partner is genuine. Hands down… it’s a beautiful movie!

20. Tell me one thing you’ve never told anyone else.
I don’t know everything.
