First up, Meg welcomes, country music singer/songwriter Cam on this week's episode of CherryPop! Cam discusses why she stopped being afraid of being sexualized by the country music industry, her experience filming the music video for her hit song "Till There's Nothing Left" (while eight months pregnant!), and why it’s important to dismantle and unlearn patriarchal structures. Cam also bestows some very sage sex advice given to her by her grandmother that you won’t want to miss! Later on, actress and musician Herizen Guardiola joins Meg and Cam to candidly chat about the importance of lifting up and celebrating each other as women. She opens up about her admirable refusal to use her sexuality and body for professional gains and explores the different forms of expression within the music industry versus the entertainment industry. Additionally, Herizen gracefully describes the privilege of portraying the goddess Oshun in the last season of American Gods (Starz) and encourages us to love and appreciate our inner goddesses.
