Jojo Siwa on Child Stardom, Public Perception & Finding Happiness | The Pieces with Bimini

Few people have gone through the public transformation that Jojo Siwa has. Having become famous at just 12 years old on "Dance Moms", Siwa went on to become a global sensation a few years later after signing with Nickelodeon. Through-out the course of her children's TV career, her music became amongst the most-streamed songs in the world (the music video to "Boomerang" has over 1 billion views) and her numerous product lines (ranging from hair bows to lunchboxes) became essentials for young children. In 2024 she shocked the world with a brand new look featuring rock-inspired make-up, and her first single as an adult artist "Karma", which became a viral pop culture moment of the year. In this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jojo talk about navigating your identity in the public eye, the impact of positive representation and the importance of finding happiness amidst scrutiny. They also chart Jojo's journey as a child star and share advice for those struggling with embracing their true identity.
