• 26:42
  Speaker 22: to the deadly spread of Ebola disease, there's also a
• 26:45
  Speaker 22: massive hunger crisis there too. Across the country, twenty six
• 26:48
  Speaker 22: and a half million people, or almost one in four Congolese,
• 26:52
  Speaker 22: do not have enough food. That's according to the UN
• 26:55
  Speaker 22: World Food Program WFP, which warns that more than three
• 26:58
  Speaker 22: point six million people are all ready facing emergency levels
• 27:01
  Speaker 22: of hunger. This increases the likelihood of them moving to
• 27:05
  Speaker 22: find food, work, and safety, and those movements can make
• 27:08
  Speaker 22: it much harder to stop the virus, the agency explained.
• 27:12
  Speaker 22: Another long standing problem is the active conflict in eastern
• 27:15
  Speaker 22: dr Congo that's pushing people into affected health zones. In
• 27:19
  Speaker 22: security and access constraints are making it harder for humanitarian
• 27:23
  Speaker 22: teams to reach the communities who need help most, WFP said.
• 27:27
  Speaker 22: The agency cited the story of Jacques, whose five year
• 27:30
  Speaker 22: old daughter died from eblah after developing a high fever
• 27:34
  Speaker 22: and bleeding from her ears. His wife remains in an
• 27:37
  Speaker 22: isolation centre and WFP is providing hot meals there so
• 27:41
  Speaker 22: that patients and contacts can stay under observation. Jacques now
• 27:45
  Speaker 22: cares for his thirteen family members with a month's un
• 27:48
  Speaker 22: food ration that will only last two weeks. When it
• 27:51
  Speaker 22: runs out, Jacques has no idea how he will feed them,
• 27:54
  Speaker 22: WFP said in a call for more resources.
• 27:58

  Speaker 8: How are you.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: We're doing well. We've been excited to talk to you.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: We've been seeing you all over our social media, you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: feeds for years and years, but to bottle you here
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in an interview, this is going to be fun for us.
• 32:27
  Speaker 28: Thanks so much. I'm honored to be here and I'm
• 32:29
  Speaker 28: excited to chat.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows about how our parents used to take pictures
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a campaign, I would call it, or just a cool
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: thing that you've been doing out there. When did you
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: realize that, you know, what you have done here from
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a concept perspective, was successful. I guess the moment was
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: probably the next morning when you woke up and you're like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this thing is taken off. Explain that
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: moment to us.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So I think it was during the pandemic
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: when everyone was kind of you know, at home and
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I and I'm very close to my my family, so
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: I always hang out with them. And I I was
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: going through some old photo albums and I was like,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: no one's.
• 33:12
  Speaker 28: Smiling in them.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: And I guess they explained to me that smiling was
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: not something that was super common because you were supposed
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: to kind of look a little more humble and a
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: little more I don't know what the word is, but
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: just you know, smiling was a little too much or something.
• 33:27
  Speaker 28: So they just didn't do it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: And so I thought that was interesting, and because I'm
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: like overly smiling all the time, so I didn't. It
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: was just new to me to hear that point of view.
• 33:38
  Speaker 28: So I said, hey, let's let's make a video.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Today about this, and then we kind of got stressed
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: up and did it. And yeah, the next the next
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: few hours, it started to, you know, gain more traction,
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: and then I think it hit a million views or
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: something like that, and it was I was like, oh, wow,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: this is really relatable and it was really funny for
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: I think I made a part two, three, four, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: now I just continue on and sprinkle it in now
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: like years later.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a genius. I love it. It's so awesome.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I think you capture the moment so well. What was
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the reaction from the parents when they saw it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, my parents are super funny. They're they're very quirky,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: and they loved it. They were like, oh my gosh, like,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: let's do some more and.
• 34:21
  Speaker 28: So then you know, we just they just yeah, they
• 34:24
  Speaker 28: just really liked it. I thought it was hilary.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It's so great. Oh my goodness. It reminds me specifically
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of a picture my mom had sent to my dad
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: during their courtship. And it's just like that she was
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: just like standing with both her hands like listed against
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the tree, and it was just the funniest thing. So
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: every time I see you, it reminds me of that
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: interaction right there between my folks. So that's so funny.
• 34:46
  Speaker 28: That's so funny.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think a lot of people did message me
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: and they were like, oh, this is so similar to
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: my family or you know, and I was like, Oh,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: that's nice. We're all kind of, you know, a little similar.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: We're connected by these photos and these photographs sessions. It's great. Yeah, Beneatha,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: you you have a fascinating background, and you've accomplished so
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: much in our business. And for me when I look
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: at your story, you came up as an actor, as
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: an improviser, and here you are. You know, you've been
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: trained not necessarily on the phone either, if you if
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and and here you are
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you adjusted to a world that is I guess it's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it's ones and zeros an algorithm world, if you will.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And how did that improvisational background prepare you for this,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you know, world of being in the world of the algorithm.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I think that I just grew up with a lot
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: of heavy comedy, Like I watched maybe like Mister Bean
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: and I Love Lucy, and that was mostly.
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: All I watched.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: And so I think I just, you know, as a
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: young child, was always just interested in physical comedy. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I think that that's kind of like my main way
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: of living life. Like I always find those things funny
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: in every situation that I'm in, and I kind of
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: just kind of note and then I'll either make a
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: video about it or I don't know, I'll write something
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: about it. So it's kind of just something that's ingrained
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: in me. And an improv is great because it helps
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: you to think on your feet. It helps you to
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: develop characters, and I think that's important when you're writing.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of stretch out of, you know, your
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: comfort zone in different ways. You're asked to be different. Yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's really awesome, and I think it
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: gives you courage to take a chance at doing something
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: different and you know, be beside yourself to judge yourself,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: which is really cool. And I think you do that
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a lot in your work because you're you're doing something
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: that is capturing a culture. It's capturing you know, up
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: what we've done just to kind of use those photographs
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: as an example in a way that everybody relates to.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And I think that you you did, you did awesome. There.
• 36:59
  Speaker 28: Let's get that's very nice.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get a two background there, Benita, I've known
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: you for a while. You started in music, so yeah,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: we've known each other for a long time.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Studied it.
• 37:10
  Speaker 28: I studied in science.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Actually I never really studied like science was my main training.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Tell us about this. So you've gone from a world
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: of stem background to music and to comedy, and now
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're kind of an entrepreneur in your own way.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Where you're here, you're making these big deals with these
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: big companies and putting out content. Tell us about this journey.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: This is remarkable, and especially for people in our community
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: because a lot of us sometimes don't have the courage
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to step out of that first career.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: That you are.
• 37:44
  Speaker 28: Oh that's that's yeah, I know.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: I I think growing up with Indian parents, you know,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: education was always taught that. You know that it's very
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: important for us to be in this country and be
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: educated and make something of ourselves. And I really really
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: love so I grew up just surrounded by animals and
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I've always wanted to do some type of.
• 38:06
  Speaker 28: Science, and so I did that. I got a double.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Master's science, a biology to be specific, and I did
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: some research at cal Tech. So so I love researching
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: and I love science overall, but I also love entertaining.
• 38:20
  Speaker 28: People and being silly and doing comedy. So my parents
• 38:24
  Speaker 28: are like, that's great.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: You know, you can pursue entertainment, but it's awesome.
• 38:28
  Speaker 28: If you also, you know, have some education. So I
• 38:31
  Speaker 28: did this schooling. I did use it for a while.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I'm a private tutor, so I do on the side
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: sometimes tutors students in math science.
• 38:38
  Speaker 28: For fat prep. But you know, I initially also.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Wanted to be a pop singer. So throughout college I
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: was doing talent shows and I was writing my own music,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: and I ended up joining an independent record label and
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: then so I had around eight years of a pop career.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: But then yeah, that kind of transitioned into my comedy
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: and acting that I'm doing now. And I and to
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: answer your question about the courage, I think I think
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: it's really cool that if we can just see, you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: who we are individually, and we note that if we
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: have some type of any inkling of like wanting to
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: do anything in life, you should always call it and
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: pursue it.
• 39:20
  Speaker 28: And I think for Indians it's.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Great to you know, follow whatever your dream is, you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: whether it's education or history or law or being adopted, like.
• 39:30
  Speaker 28: Whatever it is.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: I think it's important to just believe in yourself and
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: have the courage to do literally anything you want.
• 39:37
  Speaker 28: You want to be an.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Entrepreneur if you want, like literally anything, So I think
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: that's important.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that. That's awesome, Thank you so much.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Uh you sort a sketch show Mother's Day Mamathon to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Pluto TV, and you've shot campaigns for ESPN, Volkswagens. You
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: know when when you know you, you're you? Of course
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: you you picked up a following on let's just say
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the small screen of the phone. And now you're coming
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: up with concepts for these big brands and trying to
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: elevate what they do. And here they are, they're tugging
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: on your cape to help them do that. What was
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: that feeling like? You know, what was that like for
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you to adjust from being something like here you are
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: you're just addressing your own audience to now you have
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to problem solve for a brand that you know, needs
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Vanita as part of their their equation in terms of
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: putting their brand. Tell us about that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 28: Yeah, no, it's really really nice.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Like you know, I love making people laugh and I
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: love being creative, and so the fact that I can
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: do my own Instagram and TikTok and make my own content,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: but then having directors and casting directors notice me throughout
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: that is very it's very nice, very exciting.
• 40:51
  Speaker 28: It keeps me motivated and it inspires me to keep going.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: And then yeah, so over I think I've booked seventy
• 40:58

• 43:34
  Speaker 1: some advice that you would give them? As far as
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: you know, especially for ours South Asians, we just don't.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: We have so many great people out there doing things,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and I always take the opportunity to try to see
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: what it is that they can tell the younger generation
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: as far as the accomplishments that they've had and you know,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the good and the bad. It's not always easy in
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: our business. But what advice would you give somebody that's
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: looking at beneath and saying I want to be like her.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's really really important to know who
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: you are and what you want to do in this
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: on this planet Earth, Like how do you want to
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: make a difference, how do you want to leave this earth?
• 44:10
  Speaker 28: Like what is it that you're passionate about?
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: And just kind of sticking to that because a lot
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: of people are told what they have to become, or
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: you know, they feel pressure, whether it's from parents or
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: family or friends or just heighty. So I think if
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: you can separate yourself and really see who you are
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: and like, you know, I want to help the animals,
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I want to help the the other generation.
• 44:35
  Speaker 28: I want to.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Whoever it might be, like, just kind of stick with
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: it and don't give up.
• 44:40
  Speaker 28: Yeah, you really, you gotta.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: You gotta wait in line because people will drop out
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: of line, and so you have to really just stick
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: with it and don't don't let anyone, you know, dissuade you,
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: and make sure you have thick skins.
• 44:53
  Speaker 28: Yeah, and uh, then you can do anything you want.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: That's what I think.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you. So much of our audience is South Asian
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: in the nature of the show, and obviously your work
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: is much wider than just the work that you do
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: in our community. But you know, given as a South Asian, here,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: is there an element of our culture or our community
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: that behind the scenes you're like, Oh my god, I
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: can't wait to cover this when I get a chance.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: There's this element of our culture that I have not
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: done and I've not.
• 45:23
  Speaker 17: Got to yet.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Is there such a part of our culture that you
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: just cannot wait to make fun of?
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: That's a really good question because I've I don't know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 28: I tend to kind of focus on the people and
• 45:39
  Speaker 28: the behaviors. I don't really make fun.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Of like a food or a culture, like you know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: I it's more it's more the people that if I
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: hang out with a lot of aunties and they do
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: the most ridiculous things. But I would say it's not
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: really like it's not really like anything in particularly like
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: food or or clothes or anything like that.
• 46:02
  Speaker 28: It's just more of the behavior. Like I'm really fascinated
• 46:05
  Speaker 28: by people's behavior.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: So I think it's more that it's awesome, it's so cool,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: so cool, Benita, what's next for you? You're come across
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: like such a You've been through a lot, You've gone
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: through so many different things in your culture and your
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: community and your profession. But I still feel there's something
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: still coming from you. What is that you do? You
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: look out there and say, you know what, this is
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: where I'm going, Zammy. This is what I'd love to
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: share with your audience.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I am just so grateful every day to
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: be alive and able to live and see the day.
• 46:45
  Speaker 28: Like, I don't know, if I can work, if I
• 46:48
  Speaker 28: can help an animal today, then I'm happy, you know.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Like I spend a lot of my time helping animals,
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: whether it's volunteering with them or working on a bill
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: that's in Senate or Assembly. Like I'm very passionate about
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: animal advocacy, so I'm always doing something political like that.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: I'm always lobbying for something.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: I'm just like so excited that every day is like
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: unknown opportunities are happening, and I'm.
• 47:15
  Speaker 28: Just excited for the next day. And I'm you know,

  Speaker 28: just trying to live in the moment. And I don't know,

• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's off of me, not that Ti, Sami, Thank

  Speaker 1: you so much, Doita. Of course, it was an honor
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: and pleasure to be a part of the Yoyo Honey
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: singh documentary there on Netflix. But particularly for me, I've
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: been so impressed with how open Yoyo has been about

  Speaker 1: his life, about how his medication has affected his appearance.
• 52:34

  Speaker 8: I'm coming.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Yo, Yo honey sing The song is called god Style.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I want to give a big shout out to Kumar
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: for stopping by today. I'm a big shout out to
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Venita kil Nanni for sharing her story. Great episode and
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: let me tell you guys what you guys heard today.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: What struck me about Venita kil Nanni is that she's
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: living proof of something most of us are too free
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: to test. You don't find the path before you start walking,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: You find it by diving in. Look at her evolution singer,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: pageant winner, and then a social media sketch comedian, and
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: now she's involved in campaigns for some of the biggest
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: brands out there. Like we mentioned ESPN, Volkswagen, so many others.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: None of that was a straight line. None of it
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: was obvious from where she was standing at the start.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Each step only revealed the next one, and only after
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: she was already moving. And here's the part I love.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: She took something every one of us has, those hours
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: sitting with our aunties, and she turned it into a
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: viral hook. She embodied them down to a tee, the mannerisms,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: the timing, all of it. And then she did the
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: harder thing. She translated that very specific humor for everyone.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: She found a moment, and the moment is something you
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: can only find once you're already in motion. Now, don't
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: skip past where she began. Beneath the left the stem career,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: the safe path, the clear one to wander off into
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: the lonely and certain world of being an artist. And
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: that's the leap. So many people think about their whole
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: lives and never take She took it, and somewhere along
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: that uncertain path, the path revealed itself. That's what makes
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: her story matter, not that the way was ever clear,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: but that she trusted it would become clear one step
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: at a time. So if you're standing at the edge
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: of your own leap, take this with you. You begin
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: by diving in the moments find you after. That's Vanita
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: and you heard it here on the bridge. I want
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: to thank you all for tuning in today. I'll leave
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: you with this song. It's the latest from RIBEZ. Have
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: a great day, everybody. I'll see you tomorrow.
• 57:00
