On today’s episode of Who Is with Ross Oteri, Karenne Lienou (she/her) talks to Ross Oteri (he/him) about moving to Canada from Cameroon, her chaotic childhood with four brothers, and her love for Afrodance that led her to start a UBC club. Karenne shares some devious stories from her childhood growing up around nature with Ross, leaving him speechless. She tells Ross about how she started dancing at a young age and how she founded UBC Dance HipAfro as a space for people to come together through dance. Finally, she teaches Ross a few dance moves (with a catch).

Maydha is struggling to perform her duties as the executive producer. She’s wearing sunglasses indoors because the studio lights are too bright. She had a really fun night. Ross tries to break her. She might not be the strongest soldier, but she is definitely the most avoidant one!
