LAS VEGAS, NV—Veteran trans actress Wendy Williams is an AVN Hall of Famer and TEA Lifetime Achievement Award winner—and now she's going to take that fame and run with it. She's signed with Ikigai Marketing this week, naming Kristel Penn as her official publicist.
"I am excited to work with Ikigai Marketing as my time in front of the camera comes to a close,” said Wendy Williams. “I have always done my marketing myself but I decided I wanted someone to help me navigate and ‘brown storm’ with. I have so many projects both in adult and personal that having Kristel in my corner can only make things easier and more professional.”
“It’s an honor to work with Wendy during this pivotal moment of her career,” added Kristel Penn. “By the time I entered the adult industry 11 years ago, Wendy was one of the most well-known performers in trans porn, and that continues to date. She has been a longtime advocate of trans inclusion in the adult industry, and I believe her visibility and hard work has helped shape what our genre looks like today.”
Wendy Williams is one of the most awarded TS porn stars in the industry, an AVN Hall of Famer and TEA Lifetime Achievement Award winner with a career that spans nearly twenty years. In addition to her official website, WendyWilliamsXXX.com, she has worked for nearly every major trans adult company in the industry.
