Alex Mayers analyzes and shares her commentary on a situation revolving around an African American pornstar and performer advocate known as Lasha Lane and the historically racist Free Speech Coalition. As of current members of the FSC appear to have contracted Sean Tompkins aka TRPWL to “strong arm” Lasha into stepping down from her position as Vice President of APAC.
The reasons behind the mistreatment Lasha Lane is experiencing appear to be tied to her willingness to build a bridge between today’s independent adult performers of color and the Aids Healthcare Foundation.

This is a MUST LISTEN for all active adult industry performers (pornstars). On May 13 of 2020 James Bartholet (of Inside the Industry on LA talk radio) conducted an extensive, informative and insightful interview with the executive director of the Free Speech Coalition Michelle LeBlanc.
In the interview Michelle clarifies information revolving around the adult content production halt, why its imperative for adult performers to abide by the Coronavirus mandates in their areas (in regards to social distancing, restraining from travel, etc) and how the FSC Covid-19 Task Force is working diligently to create a plan for the industry to safely reopen in time.
In part 3 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane, Lasha and Alexandra discuss the future of potential educational resources for performers in the adult entertainment industry – along with some other situations currently playing out within the political ranks of the PORNOGRAPHY industry – both of the positive and negative.
Lasha Lane shares insight around a recent incident involving the creation of an educational program intended for adult p performers which involved the Apag union, the FSC, Alana Evans & Lotus Lain.
In addition, Alexandra and Lasha discuss the impact the Coronavirus pandemic has had on the industry, and how the pandemic’s aftermath may shift the power structure of the industry.
Lasha also touches on Mark Schechter of atmla’s discriminatory practices in regards to who he’s currently willing to represent (apparently he’s currently only seeking to recruit teenagers into the adult industry – youngsters between the ages of 18 and 22).
In part 2 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane (click here to view part 1) – Lasha outlines what she feels are cost inequities within the FSC controlled PASS system and how some studios appear to be “grandfathered” into the pass network and don’t have to pay to access talent records (whereas others do).
In addition Lasha Lane makes it clear that she’s willing to work with all of the adult industry leadership entities (such as the FSC, APAC and APAG) as she feels that they’d all be more effective were they to unite (opposed to continuing to fight).
Lasha states that one of her goals is keep the government out of the adult industry (in regards to regulation). Lasha Lane also delves into the perception of Black (African American) women in the industry (the mainstream vs. urban debate) and expresses how she is glad that a few Black women in the industry are finally exercising their voice.
Lasha Lane shares her long term objectives within the adult entertainment industry and outlines how she believes the long standing adult industry institutions, media outlets and awards shows (such as AVN ) at their core seem to want to be more inclusive and promote diversity, but don’t appear to know exactly how to do so (due to the “old guard” within the industry)… Lasha hopes that her efforts will shift the industry in a more productive and positive direction when it comes to educating the industry (as a whole) in regards to what inclusiveness in actuality is.
The primary change Lasha Lane feels should occur within the industry should be the elimination of pornstar talent agents, agencies and publicists – due to people in such positions having too much perceived (and unjustified) “power” in regards to the type of content produced, who works (versus who doesn’t), the existence of the illegal problematic prostitution rackets, and the global “trends” the industry at times dictates (as being valid) to the public.
In the upcoming part 3 of this interview Lasha Lane goes into detail in regards to the dispute between APAG union leaders and FSC leaders in regards to a future proposed program to provide adult performers with RESOURCES and EDUCATE adult performers as to what the realities of what the porn industry really are.
The mistreatment of Lasha Lane is evidence the FSC, AVN, Xbiz & APAC don’t really support BLM
