Transcription
Impact on black female sexuality
Pepper became an adult film actress and nude model in her twenties, citing an enjoyment of viewing pornography and having sex. She expressed enthusiasm on becoming a member in an industry with few black female stars.[4] Pepper said in an interview, "I just wanted to show the world. Look, I'm black and I'm beautiful. How come there are not more black women doing this?"[4] Pepper did a photoshoot in Paris in 1986 wearing only a white fur coat and heels, while being photographed by her photographer husband, John Dragon.[4] Pepper has stated that she found much self-esteem and fearlessness in showing the world her beauty; she felt she embodied black female sexuality.[4]
