Podcasts about kellita

Have you always wanted to talk to a Burlesque dancer?  Me too! I met Kellita last year at a virtual event and was immediately drawn to her spark and playfulness.   As a five-time finalist at the Burlesque Hall of Fame, she's had a lifelong journey in dance, but also in finding her soul and our conversation did not disappoint!We talked about living fully alive and witnessed, diving deep into the concept that to perform (or live, really) fully embodied, make it feel good to YOU!   And that resonance will allow others to feel good too!Take a listen!You can find her online at her website, where this took my breath away..."The most compelling part of burlesque for me is to make the soul and spirit visible via the body.To make the mind, the heart, the body (the animal self), the soul and the spirit all visible via the body. And to carry and exude that presence and visible essence into all of life."Or listen to her TEDx talk on the Power of Being Seen.  I had the pleasure of talking with Kellita today aboutKellita Maloof is a Conscious Burlesque Mentor, Teacher Trainer and TEDx speaker lovingly known as the Showgirl Shaman. She works at the intersection of burlesque, attachment, individuation, somatics, autoimmune recovery and soul retrieval. For 20+ years, she's been helping kind, highly sensitive women spaceholders + creatives who've been over-editing, over-adapting and over-giving – and are attracted to dance theater, expressive performance art and glitter – to trust and express themselves with confidence, presence and radiance.

This episode of The Big Scoop with Coop I have guest Kellita Smith.  Kellita have a great resume in the television and movie industry, you may remember her as the wife of Bernie Mac on The Bernie Mac Show and on Z Nation.  Kellita will speak about her career, her success, give advice on how to become an actor or actress and Kellita will speak about  In The Cut that she will be in on Bounce TV!

Vivica A. Fox was in for some surprises as she interviews actress and comedian Kellita Smith, best known for her role as Bernie Mac’s wife, in “The Bernie Mac Show” (2001-2006). Though they have been friends for years Vivaca didn’t know Kellita was raised in the Black Panther community of Oakland, California. Recognized for her talent even as a child, 8-year old Kellita was chosen to interview controversial political activist Huey P Newton, for a school production. “I was the only one who could sit still long enough to talk to a grown up.”   But it was the funny lady’s appearance on “In Living Color” that gave Kellita her start in Hollywood. She trades stories with Vivica about the “mean girls” they both encountered while auditioning. They’re laughing now, but it was tough then. Kellita has better memories of her early years of hustling for parts, when she got to know and work with the greats including Jamie Fox, Cedric and Steve Harvey. But it’s to Bernie Mac that she says she owes the biggest debt. After numerous rejections and multiple screen tests, Kellita won the coveted role of Bernie's wife, Wanda McCullough, on “The Bernie Mac Show." Vivica and Kellita go deep on their shared admiration for Bernie Mac, who died unexpectedly just as his show completed it’s fifth season. Kellita talks about the fun of appearing in SyFy show “Z Nation” and her newest movie “Influence.” She says she still misses Bernie’s friendship and in his honor is going to try stand up in the near future. It’s all part of Kellita's hustle. https://www.vivicafox.com  Instagram @msvfox  Twitter: @mcvivicafox  Instagram: @vivicahustling    Kellita Smith's Social media: Instagram @kellitasmith1  Twitter @KellitaSmith https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts/   https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts   https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts  Learn more about your ad choices.

Can I just tell you that if you listen to any episode of this podcast, you need to listen to this one. I met Kellita at a women’s summit where she performed a burlesque show, yep, burlesque, exactly what you’re thinking. So, obviously I invited her to be on the show. This conversation is anything but what you will expect though. It is spiritual, therapeutic, rebellious ... it is an experience in and of itself. Part of the taboo talks series, we press into the intersection of the sacred and the profane. A nod to informed consent - this episode is for a mature audience and if you have experienced trauma in relationship to consent, know that this episode is explicit. I still hope you listen. www.showgirlawakening.com @kellitatheshowgirlshaman www.elysesnipes.com/weekends --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trailercast/support
