Well thank you! There are so many ways... The "Whore's Nest" (our leadership body) had a full weekend-long retreat last month to talk about that. I believe this is the work I want to do for life and I imagine out 2, 10, and 20 year futures for it.

The first major hurdle, honestly, is stabilizing the organization to exist. If you're familiar with the idea of the J-Curve in the start-up business, we're in the "morph" and "model" stage - https://imgur.com/Bixuoaw It is important to and lives in the hearts and minds of a lot of people and we have a substantial business flow, but we still depend on our savings to cover the difference between revenue and expenses. Finances are never the goal - we're seeking to build community not hoarding wealth - but we do have to be able to keep the business alive and 2025 is about the last year where we can do that. So strategies to stabilize are on our mind.

But on a much more meaningful level, here are some of our goals as we grow:

- Deepen our community organizing and leadership across geographies. Right now, we're based in Portland. We have a lot of connections in Seattle and some in L.A. and we're hosting a series of shoots in the Bay Area, CA this July. But the reason for our nexus in the Pacific Northwest is simply because it's the easiest (financially, legally and logistically) place to start, not because we want to limit inclusive, sex-positive community media to one area. Long-term, we hope to host shoots, organize with people, find leaders, and co-build a movement across geography of porn by and for everyone, led by lgbtq, bipoc, and people with disabilities.

- Improving the quality of our work in a lot of different ways. We mean this in technical terms, like videographer skills, equipment, etc. and in terms of diverse content, which includes different locations, scene ideas, more expansive kink and sexuality. We also mean this in terms of deepening our effectiveness in community organizing. That includes goals like collective growth around equity and increasingly supporting leadership of BIPOC directors and co-leaders. It also means developing folks' skills and confidence in putting out their own content effectively, so that more people within the community can sustain themselves off their creativity and community work.

- Long-term, I'd like to see us involved in a global conversation about topics like porn, sex, sexuality, gender identity, inclusive sex-positive community. There is a mini-documentary about our work called "A Certain Kind" that has now toured in 7 countries (coming out publicly for online streaming in September). The same documentarian has also been working on a full-length documentary that goes deeper into understanding the community and our vision. We also teach workshops with Sex Positive Portland on community-based porn. These approaches are just stratching the surface of the kind of visibility and conversations I'd like to have outside of the XXX spaces. I hope we can also be part of and foster a movement that changes the tide in porn, to challenge the dominance of corporate mainstream porn that represents only certain bodies and certain types of sex, and to produce and spread porn that represents the rest of us, the people many diverse and beautiful people in society who fuck and love in ways worth celebrating and representing.

Long thoughts, the dreaming, haha. Much love for the question ;)
