Zulekha Nathoo stays humble in L.A.
I have known Zulekha Nathoo since journalism school. A TV and radio journalist who has interviewed dozens of A-listers including Ryan Gosling, Denzel Washington and Priyanka Chopra and covered major events like the Grammys, Oscars and the women’s march, she's also one of the most equally humble and quietly ambitious people I've ever known. In this episode, Zulekha talks about the roots of her humility, living in L.A. with a journalist husband and a 3 year old, and is deeply honest about her struggle living as a Muslim in the United States. More about her work here.  @zulekhanathoo   WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID  Michelle Parise, radio producer and creator of the CBC podcast Alone: A Love Story, never has nothing to say. Except for that one time when she didn't speak up for a friend at work who was being sexually harassed. @alonecbc   MENTIONED ON THE SHOW Werk It: A Women's Podcast Festival 2017 Those Cole Haan shoes @mirandahill  Michelle Parise's podcast Alone: A Love Story Connie Walker's podcast Missing & Murdered: Finding Cleo   FOLLOW ALL THE #MEDIAGIRLFRIENDS ON TWITTER @mediagfs See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
