Indica Flower

The name she works under tells you something about how seriously she takes her own aesthetic: Indica Flower is not trying to be anything other than what she is, which is someone who has built an identity around a very specific spiritual and cultural lane. She has spoken publicly about exhibitionist tendencies as something she understood about herself well before she worked in adult content — not a discovery the industry gave her, but a fact she brought into it. She is openly gay, which she has also discussed plainly, without the hedge many performers use when their on-screen work doesn't match their stated orientation. The dreadlocks she wears are not a prop. She has addressed cultural appropriation directly, in public, which suggests she has had to defend the choice more than once and has thought through her answer. She keeps chickens. She connected Bob Marley's reggae, specifically the Wailers' Burnin' album, to something she calls the spiritual roots at the heart of the music — a framing that fits someone for whom the hippie persona is a belief system rather than a brand.
