Ayana Angel is a model, escort, stripper and porn star originally from Miami, Florida. Born Yolanda Adriana Turner, Ayana danced in strip clubs in South Florida on her summer and winter breaks from college. She later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and currently lives in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur, Georgia.

Adult film career

After doing a number of nude magazine layouts for Black Tail and other publications, Ayana got her start in the porn industry in 2002 after moving to Southern California. She is best known for her full round buttocks (commonly called a ghetto booty), her anal and lesbian scenes, some interracial work, her work as a contract performer with Video Team and her appearances with Lexington Steele.

Minnesota Vikings scandal

In October 2005, Ayana's name was found on a piece of discarded Minnesota Vikings notepad titled "Incoming Flights (Pickups)." This list contained the names of various women, airlines, and flight times and is believed to have been connected to the Minnesota Vikings "Love Boat" sex scandal.

In a subsequent interview with Minneapolis TV station KTSP, Ayana admitted to knowledge of the football parties -- where strippers are flown up and are often paid for sex -- but also stated that although she originally planned to attend the event, she was unable to go. That was the extent of her involvement in the scandal.
