Episode 41: Codeswitching, Acting in NY and LA, and Popping Off On Pop Culture with Pia Ventus

Don’t you ever just want to pop off? Every once in a while, we’ve just got to let it out. As Black women, we are often underappreciated and overworked. And if we let it get to us, it can lead to burnout or worse. So let’s take some time to blow off some steam and let the pop culture machine do some heavy lifting for us!Pia Ventus is a podcaster, an actress, and a pop culture guru. On her podcast, Pia Pops Off, she deep dives into everything pop culture—past, present, and everything in between! Every Tuesday, Pia picks a hot topic from the world of movies, TV, documentaries, or iconic moments in media and brings on a guest expert to break it all down. From cult classics to current trends, she covers it all, exploring the stories, people, and phenomena that have shaped the entertainment landscape. Whether it’s nostalgia or the latest viral sensation, Pia’s got you covered with fresh perspectives and lively discussions. In this week’s episode, we talked to Pia Ventus about code-switching, acting in NY and LA, and popping off on pop culture. When we have a common interest with the person we’re talking to, like pop culture, we can establish some common ground. Conversations about racism are a bit easier when we can compare our real-life experiences with Michael B. Jordan’s pop culture experiences. It’s messy, but it works!
