Trans Adult Industry Foundation (TAIF) Announces Pride Giveaway with Gather & Grow OC and The Voice Stylist

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Trans Adult Industry Foundation (TAIF) is teaming up with Gather & Grow OC and The Voice Stylist to give away two free voice feminization courses for June’s LGBTQ Pride month. 

 

“A wise human once said that the human voice is the organ of the soul,” says The Voice Stylist owner, Tina Babajanians. “My mission is to unlock the soul of each human I interact within the container of my clinic. My offerings are perfect for folks who wish to discover their vocal potential and find their authentic expression.”

 

Speech pathologist Tina Babajanians offers gender-affirming voice therapy and coaching. Transgender voice therapy is a safe and effective option for any transgender person seeking to unlock their authentic voice. Babajanians works with a wide variety of clients, including trans women, trans men, queer, and non-binary individuals to help them discover the full spectrum potential of their voices. 

 

“We’re so thankful for this generous offering from both Gather & Grow OC and The Voice Stylist,” added TAIF Co-Director, Kristel Penn. “Vocal transition can be an important step in the transition process for trans individuals. It can cause stress and dysphoria for people who feel their voice does not align with their gender expression. It’s important to note that Tina doesn’t believe a trans woman or trans man’s voice should sound a certain way, but rather works with people one-on-one to help them achieve their own personal vocal goals. TAIF does not believe there is one way to be trans and we respect that Tina’s ethos reflects that as well.” 

 

TAIF will be giving away two free courses from The Voice Stylist: The Self-Directed Voice Feminization Program and a 5-Session Voice Feminization Course with Tina. 

 

To enter the free giveaway, applicants are asked to share why they’d like to take the course by filling out the contest form here: http://www.taif.org/pride-2020-giveaway

Grooby to Donate Additional 5% of Model Fees to Trans Adult Industry Foundation

Los Angeles, CA –  Grooby announced they will be donating an extra 5% on top of all model fees for every N. American and European model they shoot for their sites  to the recently formed Trans Adult Industry Foundation (TAIF).

“I believe by adding a donation to TAIF on each shoot we do will set a precedent to ourselves and hopefully other companies as a simple way to build an ongoing stream of money directly to the fund,” said Grooby founder Steven Grooby. “It’s also intended to display to the models we’re working with that each of their shoots has a direct impact on how much we can contribute back to the causes we support.  I’d love to engage other companies on this and see if we can make it industry wide in our niche.”

Grooby currently shoots between 500-600 scenes in N. America and Europe annually. With the extra donations from each shoot, the company hopes to raise over $24,000 this year in addition to extra fundraising activities.

Trans Adult Industry Foundation (TAIF) Created to Support Its Community

Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles based non-profit organization, Trans Adult Industry Foundation, Inc. (TAIF), launched this week. The Board of Directors are advocate and educator Buck Angel, Grooby owner Steven Grooby, and Grooby Marketing Director Kristel Penn.

“Giving back is a very important part of my work so joining with TAIF was a no brainer,” said educator and adult industry veteran Buck Angel. “We as adult entertainment producers and performers have been shunned by some LGBTQ organizations when we have tried to donate our money. This makes me sad because essentially they are saying, ‘your money is not good enough to save lives.’ So with that came TAIF, and something good came out of a negative. Excited to see the future of TAIF and helping our community. #gratitude.”

“We’ve a long standing history of promoting and donating to causes that are related to our specific niche and I’ve nurtured a few ideas on how we can ‘give back’ to our community without being able to bring them to fruition,” said Grooby founder Steven Grooby. “TAIF has taken the best of our previous ideas and is also born out of frustration on wanting to get funds to those most in need, with some charities refusing to accept money from adult companies. Buck, Kristel, and I are looking forward to reaching out to other companies, models, and fans and have some cool fundraising ideas, as well as funneling a portion of Grooby’s profits directly to the foundation.”

Board of Directors Buck Angel, Steven Grooby, and Kristel Penn had been brainstorming for nearly a year before creating TAIF. All agreed on the importance of providing assistance to groups who support trans performers in the adult industry and believed a non-profit organization was the most effective way to ensure funds are distributed where needed. Any contributions made through TAIF will be listed on its website with full transparency. Companies in the adult industry who want to work with TAIF should contact Kristel Penn at kristel@grooby.com.

Lawrence Walters, Esq., General Counsel to the Foundation, applauded the effort, saying, “The trans community will be well-served by this clearinghouse for effective donations, and the Directors are committed to raising the necessary funds to make a difference.”

Grooby to Participate at AIDS Walk Los Angeles

Los Angeles, CA –  Grooby announced they will be participating in the AIDS Walk Los Angeles hosted on October 11, 2015.

“We found out too late about this walk last year, so we had it penciled in well in advance,” said Grooby owner Steven Grooby. “It’s a great opportunity to help fund raise for cause that is close to the hearts of many of us working in the adult industry as we almost all know people have been lost to HIV related  issues in the past, or are living with it in the present.  I’d like to invite any of our models, our members, other industry or anyone at all to join our team and walk with us.”

The AIDS Walk Los Angeles primarily benefits AIDS Project Angeles (APLA) and also supports more than 20 L.A. County AIDS service organizations through the Community Coalition Initiative (CCI).
