For Sunday, February 22, we will be listening to Michelle Obama’s new podcast, which she does with her brother Craig called IMO. We will be listening to them interview the actress Cynthia Erivo on creativity and becoming the best version of yourself! Cynthia opens up about her journey from South London to Broadway and Hollywood, the determination that carried her through rejection and microaggressions, and the emotional toll of embodying iconic characters like Celie in The Color Purple and Elphaba in Wicked.
She also shares the inspiration behind her upcoming book, Simply More, the importance of embracing your “too much,” and how discipline, curiosity, and self-acceptance shape her life and creative process.
