San Francisco, California
Over the past decade, the award-winning, non-binary, porn performer Jiz Lee (pronouns: they/them) has appeared in more than 200 adult film projects shot in six countries, in genres ranging from independent erotic films to hardcore gonzo pornography. Lee’s experiences navigating their personal life as an out sex worker inspired them to create the 2015 anthology Coming Out Like a Porn Star, a collection of essays by adult film industry workers on the social stigma of sex work.
Lee has spoken at Princeton University, Stanford, the American Studies Association Conference and Wonderlust Helsinki (awarded by the Finnish Association for Sexology). They were featured on MSNBC, Fox News, the BBC, G4TV and, proudly, Lifehacker. When not in front of the camera, Lee works behind the scenes as marketing director at Pink & White Productions, the San Francisco-based production company behind the award winning CrashPadSeries.com and PinkLabel.tv.
