She is someone who knows that healing isn’t just about medicine—it’s about laughter, too. By combining her medical expertise and comedy chops, she’s bringing joy and education to audiences everywhere.
Taquita Love: Hailing from Chicago, IL, Taquita Love is just what the doctor ordered. With her expertise as a Registered Nurse, she prescribes and administers comedic relief for the soul.

The graduate of Second City LA and UCB LA (Improv and Sketch Writing) takes you on a journey into her world with her refreshing and brilliant storytelling style, and her play on words will have you experiencing withdrawals.

If you’ve ever wondered how comedy and healthcare collide, this episode has all the answers wrapped in wit and wisdom!
This week, Taquita is joined by actress, comedian, and voice-over powerhouse Shondalia White.
The unbelievable story of filming Starz’s hit show BMF and doing ADR while recovering from eye surgery that left her temporarily blind. Known for playing Karen Jones, the attorney representing the Flenory family in Terry’s medical malpractice storyline, Shondalia dives into the real behind-the-scenes of working with Lil Meech and Da’Vinchi—all while navigating her own medical crisis. From performing ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) sessions with compromised vision to bringing comedy into chaos, her journey is nothing short of inspiring. Talk about the Eye-rony. Beyond BMF, Shondalia has appeared in hit series like The Upshaws, Black-ish, Shameless, American Horror Story, and lent her voice to Pixar’s Turning Red and Nickelodeon’s The Casagrandes.
