Hitting Your Mark with Benjamin White
The show is entitled, Hitting Your Mark. In theater, there are marks on the ground that us actors have to hit. You have to stand in the right spot to be seen in the right light. But I feel like it’s the same way in life. Whether it’s a dream we’re chasing, or a goal we’ve set, we all have marks that we want to hit. Those marks guide us to where we need to be. That’s what this show is all about. I’m sitting down with incredible creative people to talk about their journeys—what hitting their mark looks like.

This week on Hitting Your Mark, I sit down with actress and comedian Nika King—someone whose journey is as inspiring as it is powerful.
You may know her from HBO’s hit series Euphoria. In our conversation, Nika shares the real story behind that life-changing audition. Even though she walked in intimidated by the big names going for the same role, she showed up, stayed grounded, and trusted that God would make room for her—and He did.
We also dive into her long love for stand-up comedy. Years of reps, open mics, and grinding in clubs have now led her to her very first comedy special, which is out right now. Her story is a reminder that preparation meets opportunity in God’s timing.
But at the heart of this episode, we talk faith. Nika opens up honestly about how hard it was early in her career to keep God at the center in an industry that sometimes makes you feel like that’s not welcomed. Now? She puts God front and center—and if you don’t like it… keep it pushing.
This conversation is for the dreamers, the ones holding onto purpose even when the path feels uncertain. You’ll walk away encouraged, laughing, and reminded that staying true to who you are will always lead you to where you're meant to be.
