In this episode, we sit down with Shonisani Masutha, an actress, entrepreneur, and writer who’s been making waves in the entertainment industry. From childhood stardom on Small Talk to landing major acting roles, to launching her own braid line, Shoni shares her journey of reinvention, resilience, and creative hustle.
She talks about why she loves live auditions, her unexpected path into writing for TV, and how she ended up becoming the first Black actress to lead an Indian Bollywood show. Oh, and let’s not forget her intense 75-day challenge—her own Shoni-fied version of self-improvement that includes drinking a ton of water, reading daily, and making friends with every street vendor in her neighborhood.
