Flying in the face of fear with Nina Mehta

How has it only been TEN YEARS since Nina Mehta joined the CP company when it feels like she’s been making magic with us forever. Actor, Committee Member and Biggest Cheerleader, Cherry Picking is always lucky to her wit, wisdom and wild courage gifting this summer soiree. 

Check out her latest words of wisdom sprinkled in this year’s blog - and we are definitely taking some of her advice!

Cherry Picking turns 25 this year - which means it’s due for a quarter-life crisis. What advice would you give to your past or future 25 year old self, or to Cherry Picking right now?

Oh, I love that girl! I would tell her she's beautiful, a good friend, and more loved than realizes. Oh, and to have more sex. Don't overthink it. ;) 

It’s our Silver Anniversary this year – if you had your own heavy metal band what would you call it?

Pussy Riot and Rage Against the Machine have the best band names. I would want either of those or to be a part of those bands.

Tell us about the last time you tried something brand new?

Yesterday. I can't even remember what it was now (because I'm not 25), but I remember it was new.

What is your CP core memory?

Backstage, swigging Rosé and laughing with fellow pickers.

If Cherry Picking were a cocktail (or mocktail), what would be in it?

Cherry Bourbon Smash.

What’s keeping you going right now?
