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!
