Pop Culture Planet was inspired by the lack of diversity Kristen was seeing within the entertainment space. Since launching the show, she’s spoken to a wide range of entertainment experts from diverse backgrounds about the female lens vs the male gaze, the model minority, women in film, LGBTQ+ culture, and the importance of representation on screen, behind the scenes, and in criticism.
