Meet Suki Lopez: Actor, Dancer, Designer… and Nina on Sesame Street 🌈💛⭐📺

Meet Suki Lopez: Actor, Dancer, Designer… and Nina on Sesame Street 🌈💛⭐📺 In this episode of Meet the Creatives, Rob Johnston sits down with actor, dancer, designer, and educator Suki Lopez, widely known for her work as Nina on Sesame Street—but whose creative journey reaches far beyond children’s television. Suki shares her early beginnings growing up in a Miami dance studio, her path through ballet, musical theatre, Broadway, and Disney Cruise Line, and how she eventually found her way to Sesame Street. She opens up about blending multiple creative identities, navigating the realities of performing arts, and building resilience in an unpredictable industry. Rob and Suki discuss the pressure of live performance, the unique energy of working with Muppets, the challenges and rewards of being a multi-hyphenate artist, and the lessons Suki brings into parenthood and teaching. The conversation explores creativity, neurodivergent thinking, discipline, failure, family, and the importance of meeting kids (and adults) where they are. Whether you’re a parent, a creative, a performer, or someone who simply grew up watching Sesame Street, this is an honest and uplifting look into the life of an artist who leads with joy, openness, and curiosity. Listen now to hear Suki Lopez’s full story—on stage, on screen, and everywhere in between. 🎙️ Connect with Rob Johnston and Explore Meet the Creatives! 🌐 Dive into the world of creativity and inspiration with Meet the Creatives and its founder, Rob Johnston!

🎙 NEW EPISODE: Mid-Interview Plot Twist — I’m in Paula Scher’s House — Rob Johnston on What Does Your Mum Think?

I’m bringing Meet the Creatives back next week 🎙— but in the meantime, here’s a little preview from my guest appearance on What Does Your Mum Think? with the boys — Michael Hindle and Kristian Shepherd. We got into some of my wildest pinch me moments — including the time I went to interview Seymour Chwast, and halfway through realized… I was sitting in Paula Scher’s living room. Total mid-interview plot twist 😅 We also talked about visiting Facebook HQ in Menlo Park and how I somehow ended up on the set of SportsCenter at ESPN. Big love to Michael and Kristian for having me on and letting me share this clip 🙌 https://www.youtube.com/@WDYMT_OFFICIAL/videos Stay tuned and subscribe to their channel — my full episode drops after the holidays! 🎙️ Connect with Rob Johnston and Explore Meet the Creatives! 🌐 Dive into the world of creativity and inspiration with Meet the Creatives and its founder, Rob Johnston!
