- Society & Culture
On this episode of This a Podcast, Mek talks with Cheyenne about her experiences on reality television, becoming an influencer on social media, and being a mom to a child with a rare condition. In this 90-minute interview, you’ll find out:
- what she was like in college and why she made the switch from broadcast journalism to public relations
- doing her part to shed the stigma of black co-parenting and what it was like growing up
- why she took a year off after college and the pressure that comes with graduating
- the surprising thing she never got into (and why) and the entertainment she DOES consume
- her dream of being a zombie extra on The Walking Dead and what she got instead
- bullshitting her way through an application for MTV’s Are You the One? reality dating show
- her experience being on the show and how they deliberately set up certain dynamics between the cast
- getting invited to The Challenge and why it was the hardest thing she’s done other than giving birth
- the crazy things she had to do, how far she made it before elimination, and how it changed her
- the wild story behind the production of her “MTV baby” and being invited on Teen Mom despite her adult age
- the show’s huge and devoted (almost to the point of psychotic) following
- the joys (and challenges) of motherhood and building a non-profit around her daughter’s metabolic condition (VLCAD)
- navigating the round of rapid-fire questions (while also trying to “keep it clean”)
- dealing with the "Negative Nancies" in Teen Mom’s fandom and her final (politically correct) message to everyone.
