✨Episode 8: British actress Grace Saif joins us for a searching conversation about acting, identity and the structures shaping British film and theatre. We dig into colorblind casting, representation, class, and how economics and fear are stalling bold stories. Grace speaks about her Kenyan roots, voice work, the indie game world, and what real cultural storytelling could look like when artists own their platforms.
