We're thrilled to welcome Madot from Star Trek Khan: Zuri Washington!

We discuss Zuri's introduction to the Star Trek universe, her career and lived experience as a Black woman working in Broadway and Hollywood today. Zuri speaks candidly about navigating the industry, finding her voice across stage and screen, and the realities—both challenging and rewarding—of building a sustainable, creative career in entertainment. We discuss representation, opportunity, resilience, and the importance of telling stories that reflect who we are and where we've been.

This is an honest, inspiring conversation about artistry, identity, and perseverance—one that will resonate with creatives, Trek fans, and anyone interested in how the industry is evolving behind the scenes.
