From booking her first costar on Black-ish to Sorority Sister on Kappa Kappa Die (2020) to a recurring role on Apple TV's The Morning Show as Lindsey Sherman, Michelle is a rising star. Our paths have crossed before (Both her roommate AND her manager have been previous guests on the show!) and I absolutely love what she has to say about consistent good work paying off in the long run. With a film coming out later this year and a SAG Award Nomination under her belt, Michelle's journey is just beginning. She walks us through the process of getting onto The Morning Show, dealing with body image in Hollywood, celebrities in fat suits, what she does in-between work, and how she takes care of her mental health.
