In this TOR exclusive, Cel and Vee catch up with the multitalented Poetra Asantewa for a chat on entrepreneurship (3:20), local vs global arts scenes (18:08) and the unique struggles of black female artistry (23:37).

Do career creatives earn a good living from their craft? Poetra tells it as it is (5:23). Plus, here's how a chance encounter eventually came to define her career (9:53). Oh, and #Roommates, guess which beloved movie character Poetra would like to play (13:24)? Did someone say "threaten them with death?" (16:45) Welp!

We get a glimpse into Poetra's upcoming work (30:28) and wrap up with a special performance by Ms Asantewa herself (30:53). Better put some respek on her name (32:35)!
