Zarna Garg is one of the fastest-rising comedians in America. A sold-out touring headliner, streaming special comedy star, and breakout voice redefining what midlife success looks like, Zarna didn’t step onto a stand-up stage until she was 44. 

In this electric and deeply personal episode of My Legacy, Zarna joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to talk about losing her mother at 14, leaving home, immigrating to the U.S., and reinventing herself more than once. By her side is her plus one — her daughter Zoya — the person who dared her to try stand-up and helped turn her jokes into a viral, sold-out comedy career. 

Together, they share how: 

• It’s never too late to reinvent yourself 

• The life experience you think disqualifies you may be your greatest advantage 

• Betting on yourself can change your family’s future 

• Reinvention requires courage — not permission 

• Your voice gets stronger with age
