In HBO's
Industry, Myha'la Herrold plays Harper, a ruthless young trading floor analyst working for a bank in London. We've seen characters like her before — think of the power-obsessed personalities in shows like
Billions and
Succession. The big difference? The stakes are much higher for a young Black woman like Harper. Myha'la talks to guest host
Tracie Hunte about the new season of
Industry, bringing her own context to a complex, morally ambiguous character and why she credits her mom for her success.
