Sibling Love & Immigrant Identity in Hollywood with Sujata Day


Listen Later

Sujata Day, the producer of Definition Please and actress on Insecure and Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, joins us in the studio to discuss her work, a product of what is personal and public. Influenced by heritage, family bonds, and inborn passions,   Sujata attributes this specific voice to the Black and Brown collaboration in the entertainment space. So how did she take control of her career, move away from secondary characters to starring in her film? An inspiring patchwork of perseverance, networking, mentorship, talent, and humor, Sujata is stirring up the Hollywood pot. We're tuned into hearing how it's going.      While some are afraid to ask for what they need, Sujata has discovered that it takes forward conversations, relationship building, and wealth of confidence and support to get from point a to z, a personal story to a hit debut and Netflix streamed film. She speaks to Saadia and Shajehan about growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, her connection with her older brother, and the critical pieces of her identity naturally embedded in her work.
