Ebony Mystique remembers how gratifying it was to form bonds with her patients years before she ever stepped into an adult set.
Now the former traveling RN finds it rewarding to create connections of a different kind, with fans around the world who enjoy her energetic brand of hardcore.
“I was already a nurse, so I know what that kind of gratification feels like,” Mystique says. “But to not even touch a person and they have some sort of connection with you, I love it.
“I’m very appreciative of it.”
Ebony tells AVN that feeling is stronger than ever as she begins the final stretch of the most eventful year of her adult entertainment career. The versatile star from New Haven, Connecticut, in 2022 landed an exclusive contract with Brazzers, won an Urban X award, launched a podcast, opened a studio space, performed abroad and also bagged the cover of the November issue of AVN magazine 2022.
That’s not to mention becoming one of the featured models in the multimedia ad campaign for the 2023 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January in Las Vegas, where she moved at the beginning of this year.
“All my goals that I had set forth for my entire career, have been coming through gradually,” Mystique says. “An exclusive contract, an AVN cover—like what? Nominations, award-winning… It’s a lot.
“It makes me more appreciative of the time I’m spending in my life—because it’s valuable. It’s like going somewhere. It’s like moving forward. And when you’re moving forward, it’s more convincing that you’re doing the right thing.”
She continues, “Even if it doesn’t work out when you want it, moving forward in whatever you’re doing is always good. The fact that I’m progressing and you can see the progression is very good for me. So I like it here.
“And it just makes me know that I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. But I’m not done yet either, because there’s so much more that I have to do. And that just makes me feel like I’m gonna get that shit done, too.”
“I’m still my fashionista self. I’m still my nursing self. … I’m still licensed to this day. I’m always gonna be licensed. Because I did that, and lord knows when you’re ever gonna need it again.”
Even after broadening her horizons in adult—she opened Luxury Journey Studios in downtown LA this year—and making the most of her Brazzers contract, Ebony always remembers where it all began on Pinky’s site.
