Shereen Ahmed: Actor and Activist

What this episode covers

In this episode, we touch on Shereen’s unique professional path from studying Criminal Justice in college to being a professional actor. We loved hearing about her incredible journey with My Fair Lady and her experience as the first woman of color to play Eliza Doolittle on Broadway. We also spoke about the responsibility that comes with being the “first” at anything, Imposter Syndrome, shooting New Amsterdam during the pandemic, and coming out of the pandemic with a more equitable industry. Shereen’s warmth and positivity shine through the whole conversation, and we know you will enjoy the start of season 3!
