We asked Myha’la about fame, ambition and what it means to play women in positions of power.

The American actress reflects on the reality of public visibility and cringing at her own performances while filming the latest season of Industry.

She also discusses modern relationships, the importance of portraying complex Black women across tech and finance, and her thoughts on British culture — including the great crisps versus chips debate.
