Today on the pod we have a VERY special guest joining us! Please welcome actor, writer, and comedian LaNisa Renee Frederick! We have an amazing chat and talk everything from LaNisa’s amazing role in the second season of Jury Duty - “Company Retreat” to her incredible podcast, “Black and CULTivated.” We discuss why human beings and society are so drawn to cults, and why it’s easy to be obsessed with them. We also cover LaNisa’s inspiring relationship with social media, and why it’s important to just not take it too seriously! We’re so honored LaNisa sat down with us and we hope you enjoy the episode!!
