Start the New Year with another holiday feature from adult star Rara Knupps! On a creative set with the photographer, Carianne Older, Rara shows us how talented she is. “I love that my job has made me gain confidence and be more comfortable in my own skin. It’s super freeing, and I’m really gr ateful for that,” she shares. “I feel the most empowered when girls come up to me in public and tell me that my YouTube videos have helped them. I started when I was 18. It means so much because I always felt alone and different when I was a teenager growing up in a small town.” Rara is proud of how far she has come since then. “I’ve had so many moments in my life that have genuinely taken me out and made me want to throw the towel in,” she says of pursuing her goals. “I am proud of where I am today in life. I never gave up even though I wanted to so many times!”
