Kenya welcomes Anna Lambros, a Massachusetts based background actor, yoga teacher and Reiki Master. Anna first talks about her family’s journey from Italy to Boston, and how the sense of feeling different as a bilingual child gave her inspiration to search for inner strength and community. Anna opens up about fear being in the background of many of her choices, and how pivoting from elementary school teacher to yogi and actress gave her the opportunity to face that fear head on and help others do the same. Finally, Anna talks about her love of background work and rising above the need to justify herself to move forward towards her own dreams.
