In today’s episode, 8 sat down with the incredible Keertana — a talented writer, artist, filmmaker, and English teacher. Keertana’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. At just 15 years old, she found herself attending the Toronto Film Festival, navigating a world typically reserved for much older creators — even entering the event registered as a 35-year-old white man!

Beyond filmmaking, Keertana also runs her own magazine, showcasing her creative voice and leadership. Despite facing challenges such as memory loss, her resilience and brilliance continue to shine through every project she touches.

Keertana is truly a bright young star with a future full of possibilities.

I pray that her story inspires you as deeply as it inspired me.

Guest: Ish from The Joe Budden Podcas

This week on Schitt Ain’t The Same, I’m joined by none other than Ish from The Joe Budden Podcast—and we’re diving into a real one.

We’re talking investing, relationships, and what it looks like when men drop the surface talk and actually open up. Ish brings that grown-man energy and thoughtful perspective that always makes for a dope convo.

We get into:

• How women view financial security vs. financial freedom

• Dating while building wealth (and peace)

• How is he your man , and you haven’t seen how he lives

• The evolving expectations in modern relationships

• And a few gems you probably weren’t ready for

It’s unfiltered, insightful, and full of those moments where you pause and go, “Damn… that’s facts.”
