EP 116: NY Is Like My Hometown But Cranked 10x ft Isra Elsalihie

In honor of Women's History Month, I decided to bring back one of my favorites recorded just before the pandemic became global. This episode originally aired in January 2020. I learned so much from this amazing actor and fabulous human being called Isra, I hope to have her back on the pod soon. Isra opened my eyes to segregation, and education in Sweden, barriers to foreign-born actors, and IKEA. This is a woman that I'm always rooting for, follow her and support her work.
