In today’s episode, Karma discusses using one’s voice for change, the lack of diversity and representation behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, and the need for more diverse voices and perspectives in decision-making roles. She also discusses taking care of one’s mental health, finding outlets for self-expression and joy outside of the industry, and the power of being true to oneself in auditions.
