Social Media: Star the Poet
Shameless Plug: Ladies and gentlemen, popcorn lovers and poetry snappers tune in and listen to Star — a young writer and spoken word poet who started writing before most of us figured out how to fold a fitted sheet. She grew up as a Caribbean-American kid scribbling poems about life, identity, and whatever else a young genius writes about when everybody else is busy trying to beat Level 3 of Mario Kart.Then high school hit, and instead of doing what most teens do — you know, pretending homework doesn’t exist — she joined community networks with other young POC bucks and started tapping into her Canadian community. (Yes… she’s basically Avengers-Assemble, but make it poetic.) By listening, observing, and actually talking to people — something we adults forget to do — Star realized her superpower: using her words to show the world through our eyes, our dreams, our struggles, and our joy. And she’s not just about “pretty poems.” Oh no — Star is powered by empowerment, action, and enough community love to make a Disney movie jealous. Her mission? To help turn the dreams of the people into something real… something bright… something shining — kind of like the stars that light up the night sky, but with way better metaphors. So buckle up. Grab your popcorn. Because today, we’re talking to a young poet who isn’t just writing about the world — she’s helping re-write it.
Pantry
Welcome to the Pantry area of the Pizza ’n’ Popcorn – a popcast blog, where the guest list hits like movie night featuring the Avengers: Endgame—but instead of hammers and shields they come with slices, snacks, and zero pretentious energy. Where thought leaders, healers, creators, and full-on main characters pull up and put their integrity (and a little pride) on the line. We get to see who or what survives while we dig through an endless bucket of freshly popped kettle corn. Think Hot Slice chaos, Late Night & Early Morning laughs, and the kind of conversations you’d have at 1 a.m. when the pizza box is empty but the popcorn bowl somehow isn’t and who the hell left pizza grease on the mic?
We’re popcasting up comedy, satire, and the occasional truth bomb, because life’s too short not to laugh at it. Our guests aren’t here to flex résumés but maybe embellish their latest Game of Thrones late night sequel, we will be rewriting origin stories, villain arcs, and Shakespearean monologues while being refreshingly unfiltered along the way. So grab your snack-sized escape into the ridiculous and the relatable, bring your appetite for nonsense and your sense of humor, and enjoy the show. Extra cheese and sarcasm served hot and ready. Batteries not included.
