Welcome to In Her Shoes.

I'm Lindsay Peoples-Wagmer, Editor-in-Chief of the Cut.

On this podcast, we talk to ambitious women about how they come this far and where they're

going next.

Cynthia Rivo is an English actor, singer and songwriter.

She is not just a two-time Oscar nominee, but a Grammy, Daytime Emmy, and Tony Award-winning

performer.

She's known for playing legendary women like Harriet Tubman and the first feature film

about the heroine's life and Aretha Franklin for National Geographic's Genius Series, and

on top of that, she's recently released her debut solo album, Chapter 1, Verse 1.

We spoke about Cynthia's track record of playing iconic black women, what it's like

to be so close to an egot, the inspiration behind her new children's book, and more.

I'm so excited for you all to listen.
