Aisha Dee isn’t afraid to speak her truth. On this epsiode of No Filter, guest hosted by Laura Brodnik, The Bold Type star opens up about stepping into her queerness on screen, the ways her iconic character helped her explore her own sexuality, and the struggles of being a young woman navigating Hollywood while staying true to herself.

She gets candid about her decade-long battle with endometriosis and PCOS - the chronic pain, the surgeries, and the fight to have her experiences taken seriously. Aisha also talks about her latest project, Watching You, an intense psychological thriller, and why she’s drawn to messy, morally gray characters that push her to take risks.

From the highs of red carpets to the quiet victories at home with family, Aisha shares the moments that shape her life, career, and identity, all with honesty, humour, and heart.
