Introducing Supernal Goddess Ashanti!

How did you discover the world of FemDom and what attracted you to it?
Goddess Ashanti
I discovered the world of FemDom at a very early age. I was in elementary, maybe fourth or fifth grade when I discovered playboy. I would sneak and watch the infamous playboy channel after my parents and virtually everyone else in the house went to sleep, not fully understanding what I was watching. Nonetheless, it interested me not to mentioned made me feel ways I had trouble understanding. Eventually I stumbled upon a channel that featured a different kind of porn; the world of FemDom where women were in control. I was instantly fascinated and intrigued about this world because women were superior to men. After watching vanilla porn and seeing how women were portrayed and then watching FemDom scenes, it was so refreshing and empowering and found myself desiring to become a Dominatrix myself when I grew older. Coincidentally, I forgot about this desire as I grew older and it wasn’t until I started modeling that some random guy, who is also a well known community slut recommended I check out BDSM, his recommendation sparked my memory and I haven”t looked back since! :)

How long have you been a Domme and have you noticed any differences in the industry between now and when you first started?
Goddess Ashanti
I have been a Domme predominately online since 2014. While there have been number of differences in the industry, the one that is the most important to me is inclusion. Since I have started, I have noticed an effort in both clip site platforms and individual efforts to help increase the exposure, recognition and support that black/ebony models, dommes, artists, etc deserve. Black/ebony performers are being included more than ever now and it feels great to have so many strive for that change. Other things that I have noticed which don't necessarily affect me are an influx of trolls, time wasters, increased restrictions due to new laws, from platform bans to keyword use that affect our exposure and nasty drama and policing of one's work between other dommes. It seems to occur more frequently, as every other day there is some new domme drama on my timeline, when there should be a stronger camaraderie with more unity where we are uplifting one another instead of tearing each other down. It just isn't the same in a lot of ways both good and bad.

What are some of your most memorable moments as a FemDomme?
Goddess Ashanti
Some of my most memorable moments as a FemDomme have been successfully draining men, real time sessions, attending events like AVN where I've had the chance to meet both those that inspire me and my fans, interacting with some bad ass women in the community, being featured in interviews and blogs, gaining a newfound confidence and perspective since becoming a FemDomme and last but not least being spoiled :) of course with money and gifts from fans.
Domme Source
Please share one factoid about yourself that your subs and fellow FemDommes may be surprised to find out.
Goddess Ashanti
It's kind of difficult too choose just one lol I am pretty eccentric and complex. However, I have Thalassophobia. I am deathly afraid of open waters, specifically oceans, lakes and rivers. Hell anything that has a current or fish in it lol it's really bad. If I am in or over water for too long like stuck on a bridge, I will start to hyperventilate. I would love to go on a cruise one day but every time I think about it, I think of Titanic and Jaws. So I know I'm not going to make it without some form of muscle relaxers or something lol to help me with my open waters anxiety when I do finally take a cruise.

What are some things you wish you knew about being a Domme before you started?
Goddess Ashanti
I had an idea, but I wish I knew just how hard and how much work it takes to be successful as a FemDomme. I remember doing my initial research, creating my twitter account, expecting immediate results and struggling hard. Like a lot of other baby dommes, I thought I could make a quick dollar. Other dommes made it seem so effortless, like you could get money just by bating your eyes and I soon learned that it would take a lot more work than I realized. From being consistent and constantly engaging to marketing and promoting yourself, it takes a lot of work. With any business you need a niche, something you can offer and deliver in a way that no one else can; it took me a while to find my niche and brand. Creativity, consistency, and originality are key factors, these are things I am still working on. In addition, understanding my audience and how I can widen the net so I can increase my conversions and continue growing my business. While many say that they want to work for themselves, no one really understands what all goes into making it work. Once they don't get the fast results, they see others getting they become discouraged and often quit. Quit and go back to working for someone else, on their clock, with limited pay. I’ve never wanted to work on someone else’s clock and while I have had my share of civi jobs, I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and my sex work allows that and for me to have the kind of schedule and live the kind of life I feel I deserve. Self-employment requires you to be disciplined and dedicated to make it work and be successful; I am just glad that I stuck around long enough to see mine. Being back from hiatus, I plan to really push myself and grow my business.
Heed this advice baby dommes, this is not for you if you're looking to make a quick buck, this is NOT easy money or work sometimes, but you can be successful with time. ;)

If you could change one thing about the FemDom industry, what would it be?
Goddess Ashanti
If I could change one thing about the FemDom industry, it would be to ensure that Black/Ebony artists are given even more exposure, consistently highlighted, embraced and supported. While there has been improvement in the recent years, I feel like the industry could still do a better job in promoting and creating better marketing and exposure opportunities for WOC.

What are your favorite fetishes to indulge in with your subs?
Goddess Ashanti
I love Foot Worship and I have many foot freaks, it's something about looking down at a man while he lovingly worships your feet/shoes/boots that feels so empowering. I have sadistic tendencies, so I love Humiliation, CBT, Chastity, Trampling and Corporal Punishment. Last but definitely not least, I love Mind Fucking and Financial Domination.
Domme Source
Do you have any least favorite fetishes and why?
Goddess Ashanti
I really feel like it should go without saying, but I've had these requests before and they are a hard pass for me; Blood Play, Scat Play, Fire Play, Rape Fantasy, and Golden Showers. I have no intention on playing with scat to indulge a sub, I am a very clean person and the thought of it grosses me out. There are so many diseases, viruses a whatnot that people may or not be aware of and it is so easy to contract something through blood, I am not taking my chances with that just to indulge a sub. I am not experienced with fire play and I just don't feel comfortable with that fetish. I have no desire to act out a rape scene, even if I am not the victim, that hits too close to home for me. Lastly, I have no desire to truly let a sub that close to my pussy let alone, drink my piss or just be showered in it, again I am a clean person and I just don't feel comfortable with that fetish and it doesn't appeal to me.

Outside of FemDom, what are some of your hobbies?
Goddess Ashanti
I am a huge gym rat and I love going to the gym. My favorite thing is running because I love the feeling of the endorphins coursing through my body and how light I feel after. I love curling up and reading a good book. Despite my limited palette making it difficult, I love traveling. I love to cook and bake. I love to dance but more so at home because I hate clubs. I love indoor activities like ice skating, skating, bowling, and laser tag. I also love outdoor activities like paint ball, taking walks, or bicycling. I have also slowly started getting back into playing with arts and crafts and writing poetry. I also enjoy shopping and hanging with family/friends and my man.

Does FemDom actually turn you on? If not, what does?
Goddess Ashanti
I wouldn't say that it turns me on. I just really love and enjoy the power exchange that goes with it. It definitely fulfills me in a way that I never knew I needed. It gets me excited when one submits, giving me control and power over them. The feeling only intensifies with financial domination, being paid to dominate men is fucking phenomenal. What does turn me on...my sexy growing bank account, my fiancé and George Clooney and Idris Elba in any capacity and any movie :)
Domme Source
What are some of your turn offs?
Goddess Ashanti
My biggest turn off is topping from the bottom, I fucking hate when subs do this it's so disrespectful. I dislike rude and ignorant people, being ignored by a fellow SWer, trolls, dommes putting down/policing/taking advantage of other dommes, timewasters, drama, fake people, how undervalued woc are, the ongoing misunderstanding and ignorance around black/ebony supremacy and being fetishized as a woc.
Domme Source
Describe your ideal slave / sub.
Goddess Ashanti
My ideal slave/sub is one who tributes faithfully even if it isn't a large amount, spoils me, is completely obedient, loyal, respectful at all times, behaves accordingly, recites the worship incantation, openly communicates with me, always has my best interest at heart, invests in my future, is dedicated to my happiness, acts as my PI looking for any of my pirated content so it can be reported and taken down, promotes me and my content to help grow my business, develops or offer skills and talents that will help me grow my business, offer new ideas for clips or fetishes for me to try, and last but not least, keep in contact, never ever ghost me if the relationship has to come to an end this should be handled properly.
Domme Source
What could a sub do that would please and/or impress you the most?
Goddess Ashanti
Doing their research to see if I am the type of Domme they're seeking, sending the proper initial tribute, along with a message to introduce, themselves is a great way to start. Beyond that it would be that sub that does the aforementioned but also adopts a large bill, like my rent on an ongoing basis. However, if a sub added me to their life insurance policy, ensuring they continue contributing to my future long after they have passed on, would be the ultimate impressive act.
Domme Source
What is your favorite aspect of being a FemDomme?
Goddess Ashanti
The control and power are my favorite aspects of being a FemDomme, the power exchange is intoxicating for me. I love having weak men under my control, desperate for my attention and to please me. I am naturally dominant to have someone submit themselves to me on top of being paid for it is the ultimate pleasure and what I call my little piece of heaven.
Domme Source
Please comment on how you feel about performing in clips, on cam, and in person. Do you offer each of these? How do you feel about them?
Goddess Ashanti
I am extremely comfortable performing in clips, on cam and in person as it is close to 5 years I have been doing this. Yes, I offer each of these services. I thoroughly enjoy each as they all give me an opportunity to push my creativity and mindfuck more weak men into being obsessed with me.
Domme Source
