Angela entered the industry at the age of 18, but her interest in the field began much earlier. She revealed that she started researching the adult entertainment world as early as 14, driven by a desire to find a space where she felt accepted. Growing up, Angela often felt marginalized for being open about her sexuality and struggled with societal expectations around body image. For her, the industry became a place where women with body types like hers were celebrated rather than ridiculed.
In an interview with news.com.au, Angela reflected on the cultural landscape at the time: “This was before plus-size modeling became mainstream. Back then, if a curvy woman appeared on television, she was often the target of jokes. Seeing women with bodies like mine in magazines, surrounded by glitz and glamour, was empowering for me.”
While Angela has no regrets about her career choice and loves her work, she admits there is one aspect she would handle differently if given the chance. Her primary concern revolves around how she communicated her decision to enter the industry with her loved ones.
“If I had to do it all over again, I would approach those conversations differently,” she explained. “I was so excited and determined about my decision that I simply told people what I was going to do. I didn’t leave room for questions, comments, or concerns.”
Beyond her work in adult entertainment, Angela is also an academic. In 2010, she completed an honors degree in gender studies, writing her thesis on the experiences of six women in the adult industry. Her research aimed to challenge the oversimplified narratives often associated with women in the field.
“The discourse around women in this industry is often black and white—you’re either seen as a victim or an empowered figure,” Angela noted. “But the reality is much more nuanced. For some, like me, this is the perfect job. I feel empowered and fulfilled in my work. For others, it might be a means to an end, like paying off debt. It’s a spectrum, and we need to acknowledge that complexity.”
Angela also highlighted positive changes within the industry, particularly with the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, which give performers greater control over their content and careers. She sees these developments as steps toward a more equitable and respectful environment for those in the profession.
