In October 2014, she entered pornographic industry. She received the wide-spread attention when she appeared in a BangBros scene for wearing Hijab in a threesome porn movie. With that scene, she received a good amount of popularity; around 1.5 million views and became the most-searched adult performer on the Pornhub website. On December 28, Pornhub revealed that she was the number one performer of the year on their website. In 2015, she signed a contract with BangBros’s parent company to perform in multiple films each month, however, just two weeks later, she changed her mind and quit. The negative popularity prompted her to leave. “It was an eye-opener for me. I don’t want any of this, whether it’s positive or negative – but all of it was negative. I didn’t think too much into it about how my friends and family and relationships were suffering.” She said. In 2016, she started performing as a Webcam model and Sports Commentator.

I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how how they freed themselves from apartheid.
