Naomi Foxxx

She grew up in Jamaica and moved to the United States at seventeen. The decade that followed looked nothing like where she ended up: she put herself through college twice, first for a medical assistant certification, then again for diagnostic ultrasound. She spent years in hospital work, reading scans, doing the respectable thing. At some point the pull of nightlife won. She was promoting events at swingers clubs and dancing at strip clubs while still clocking hospital shifts — living two lives simultaneously until she quit medicine entirely. She met her husband, a performer named Peter Fitzwell, at one of those clubs. They married within a year. She entered the industry a few years into their marriage, and when a studio first reached out to her online, she ignored it. She didn't recognize the name because, as she has said plainly, she didn't watch porn. A friend corrected her understanding of the situation. Her stage name came from two sources: a childhood resemblance to Naomi Campbell, and friends who had spent years telling her she was too foxxy for her own good.
