Hometown: Providence, RI | Age: 19 | Height: 5-foot-4 | Weight: 100 pounds | Measurements: 34B-22-32 | Hair: Copper blond | Eyes: Brown Nami Dahlia worked at a gas station convenience store and a sandwich store in before moving on to stripping in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, “and I wasn’t making any money there,” she said. “My boyfriend always called me ‘a porn star’ whenever we had sex, so I thought I’d give it a try.” Her first scene was for Reality Kings’ Black GF series in Florida: “It went pretty smooth, actually. They told me I was good for a beginner. I learn fast. The sexual stuff came naturally; it was the modeling parts I had to learn. I have to watch my angles. I can’t raise my chin up too high. It’s a bad angle. “The first time I watched a scene of mine, I cried. I thought I had made a mistake.” She has started working out with boxing: “It teaches you how to control your anger. They teach you how to keep a level head when you’re angry. When I was in middle school, I got into a lot of fights. I am tiny, and I really wasn’t doing much damage. They taught me that when you’re upset, it messes with your hand-eye coordination. I learned how to harness my anger when I’m fighting in a way that is going to make the person that I’m fighting more hurt than me.” Dahlia says she gets a lot of her inspiration from music: “This is going to sound so cliché, but Nicki Minaj: I relate to her. When I hear a song I listen to the lyrics and the message behind the song. A lot of the stuff that she’s talking about in her lyrics, I can relate to. I did grow up on music. I used to sing when I was little.” Her plan is to stay a performer for two years, buying a place in California and starting her own business after she stops shooting scenes: “I want my own production company, I want my own brand of toys, I want my own brand of condoms, I want lubes. I want everything. I want to work with other brands on the lube and the condoms. As far as the production company and the toys — I want my own. I have a theme in mind.” Nami Dahlia is represented by Foxxx Modeling. Follow her on Twitter: @namidahlia.
