By Kuono • Jun 6th, 2008 • Category: Events, In the News, POC, PornHow does that song go? … “Sistas are doing it for themselves…”
Well, they are. Giana Taylor, founder of the 1st Annual Urban Spice Awards is recognizing adult industry talent who usually only get their for nods in the “Best Ethnic” categories. Shafted (literally?!) by award after award, this Sunday’s award ceremony brings some of our favorite adult film stars to the forefront.
And! Hosted by Sean Michaels, Olivia O’Lovely, and Comedian Evan Lionel. Red Carpet hosts Tia J and Speedy the Comedian. San Francisco’s lovely but I wish I was over there.

I didn’t realize Belladona was interracial?
Isn’t she Italian?
Or does this just mean she does interracial sex scenes.
I’m confused.
BB
Interracial sex scenes. : )
People tend not to use the word ‘interracial’ to describe themselves, instead identifying as “mixed race” or “hapa”, etc…
Stars like Tera Patrick and Katsuni would be in that category, if there was one. I think it’s great and really interesting for Urban Spice Awards to include an Interracial Category. Particularly as it by definition calls attention to a performers’ race, and race play during sex. Race can be a sensitive topic, so the ways in which it is portrayed in pornography are often under heavy scrutiny. I’ll check back with the winners!

I absolutely feel strongly that Cassidy Clay should be getting more exposure from the industry for such a tremendous talent. If you can drop a line through to her, because i couldn’t find her agency details, but we’re discussing it here:
