EBONY MYSTIQUE: Formal Healthcare Worker Turned Viral Porn Sensation Promotes Talent Safety
(Seattle, WA) Elevate, presented by Streamate, is proud to announce EBONY MYSTIQUE x ELEVATE, a special March collaboration with viral adult sensation and advocate for talent testing, Ebony Mystique.
Mystique, who entered the industry amid the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, pivoted from a seasoned career as a registered nurse. After her viral debut on PinkyXXX, she quickly rose to stardom, securing collaborations with top-tier adult brands that even the most experienced performers aspire to. In late 2022, after a failure in testing protocols led to a breakthrough STI and an industry-wide moratorium, Ebony became a vocal advocate for improved testing standards for all performers. She later teamed up with the industry regulatory leaders at PASS to update adult testing protocols, incorporating extragenital swabbing into the standard STI panel—an objectively more reliable method for detecting certain STIs than blood and urine tests alone.
As part of EBONY MYSTIQUE X ELEVATE, Ebony will be joined by Taurus Jeralds, founder and CEO of MPOWERR Health and Wellness in Atlanta, a PASS-certified testing partner, to educate the community in a comprehensive 1-hour recorded discussion. The conversation will cover essential topics such as foundational elements of testing, how talent can verify test results, the differences between swabbing and blood & urine tests, and tips for talent to advocate for their sexual health and safety.
A representative for Elevate expressed, “We’re very grateful to Ebony for showing up to this partnership with the enthusiasm, professionalism, and effervescent spirit that so many have come to know and love her for. Her community-focused efforts to improve testing protocols for the safety of all performers are sure to have lasting positive impacts for future generations to come. These are contributions that she should be recognized and lauded for.”
The discussion is accompanied by Elevate’s hallmark profile interview, led by Vanessa Eve and directed by visionary filmmaker and former Elevate Community Partner, Rae Threat. The insightful conversation explores Ebony’s meteoric rise to porn stardom, her background in healthcare, and her efforts to mobilize for improved adult talent testing.
Ebony shared, “I am ever so grateful for this opportunity with Elevate. I was able to switch my gears as a performer and dive into the safety of testing protocols and give more insight to standards and what it means to shoot ‘safely.’ With the knowledge & assistance from Taurus Jeralds of MPOWERR Health and Wellness of Atlanta, and support from Vanessa, I hope sex workers will find the info helpful and effective. I am very honored and hope to do more projects in the future with Elevate.”
