Kate Sinclaire is a cis white queer woman from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She uses the pronouns she/her.

She is a recognized expert in the areas of online content distribution and policy, media literacy, sexual health education, and ethical production standards. She is both a law student and a porno tour de force. Having come up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, she has been working in porn in front and behind the camera since 2006 – founding Cherrystems.com and her production and distribution company, Ciné Sinclaire. Her films centre queer identity in a documentary style that works to represent sex in the way that people have it (and that doesn’t just mean “soft and pretty”). Her speaking work centres around media literacy, comprehensive sex education, and emphasizing the harms that come from censorship and prohibition for consumers of porn, the general public, and those who work in the industry. She’s a member of the Sex Workers of Winnipeg Action Coalition, board chair at the Sexuality Education Resource Centre of Manitoba, and is generally pretty happy to meet you. @MsKateSinclaire on all the platforms.

Her passion is sparked by intersections of technology, e-commerce, access to media, law, ethics, and policy. She has built experience in these areas through fifteen years of operating her own digital content production and distribution companies, a decade of community engagement, and years spent working with activist and advocacy groups. She has appeared as a parliamentary committee witness, authored briefs to Parliament both as a business owner on behalf of organizations, and reviewed draft factums and evidentiary records for an impending Charter challenge. Kate has never been content to simply take things as they are – her sense of curiosity for how systems operate keeps her questioning, critiquing, and engaged with policy and legislative decision-making.
