The Imposter Club

I'm not the runner, I've got an Emmy: Editor Yasmine Almosawi on discrimination, self-acceptance and resilience

Listen on

Episode notes

An absolutely gorgeous episode featuring the breath of fresh air that is Editor Yasmine Almosawi. Hustling, hilarious, and completely herself after years of masking her true identity to be accepted, Yas is a talented, Emmy award winning Editor who has faced blatant discrimination, yet worked harder for it and given back to the industry. In this pod, she generously shares her experiences with Kimberly in the hope that others will feel empowered to call people out in the future, or support those it's happening to.
