My Take
Sharon Mitchell's second act interests me far more than her first. After a long run as a performer and director in adult film, she reinvented herself entirely, founding the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation in 1998 and training as a sexologist. At its peak the clinic was testing over a thousand performers a month, which is a genuine public-health contribution however people feel about the industry. I find the 2011 data breach that ended AIM a real tragedy, because the underlying mission mattered. She strikes me as someone who turned hard-won experience into care for others.

In 1998, she founded the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM), which tested over 1,000 adult film performers per month before a 2011 data breach led to a lawsuit and the clinic's closure.
