Career
Born in California and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Noir stated she had a difficult time finding a job after graduating from high school. She took on a job as a stripper, including at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in St. Louis, a job which she stated she enjoyed due to the work culture. Her move into the adult film industry came after she had seen Bonnie Rotten and was inspired by her stage presence. She also cited actresses such as Skin Diamond and Stoya as personal inspirations.
One of Noir's films was the directorial debut of Ana Foxxx, Filthy Fashion Models. She attended her first AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in 2016.
Noir digitally hosted, along with fellow adult film star Skyler Lo, the 38th AVN Awards. She signed an exclusive contract with Brazzers in 2023, and has since featured multiple films by the company.
Outside of the adult film industry, she appeared in a 2018 music video by pornographic film actor Small Hands, as well as a G-Eazy music video.
Activism
Noir was also one of the actresses selected for Pornhub's Sextainability series. The partnership with the environmental initiative 2030 or Bust had Noir, along with many other actresses, produce solo videos which promoted environmental causes. She has also advocated for open discussions of consent, emphasizing its importance to a healthy sex life.
She has been critical of how the adult film industry treats black women, particularly the framing of interracial pornography between black women and white men. She was also elected to the Performer Availability Screening Service (PASS) Board of Directors in 2025, alongside fellow actresses RubyLynne and Beth McKenna.
