I have known Zulekha Nathoo since journalism school. She is a TV and radio journalist who has interviewed a wide range of people from politicians like Stephen Harper to superstars like Gwyneth Paltrow. She's also one of the most equally humble and quietly ambitious people I've ever known.

Zulekha talks about the roots of her humility, living in L.A. with a journalist husband and a 3 year old, and is deeply honest about her struggle living as a Muslim in the United States.

WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID 
Michelle Parise, radio producer and creator of the CBC podcast Alone: A Love Story, never has nothing to say. Except for that one time when she didn't speak up for a friend at work who was being sexually harassed.
