Description

Lena Khan went to UCLA with an interest in film — but no intention to pursue it as a career. Fast forward to today and her IMDB profile credits her for a Disney+ film, Flora and Ulysses, and her own full-length film, The Tiger Hunter. Lena has become a pillar within the intimate Muslim-American circle in Hollywood, and most recently co-signed Riz Ahmed’s campaign to get more Muslims in film. 
Listen to Lena’s journey on today’s epi, and how she has navigated her successful career as a director.

Hi! I am Layla Shaikley (@laylool), I co-founded a tech company and I am also visibly Muslim. So, my identity has been front and center throughout my life and career. I have lived a lifetime of reclaiming my narrative. This is my podcast where I will interview fellow Muslim guests with interesting career paths reclaiming theirs too. I'll share insights on my journey throughout the way. Listen if you want career inspo, life inspo, or just to know what’s up. https://www.instagram.com/laylool/ https://www.tiktok.com/@laylool https://www.instagram.com/muslimsdoingthings/ Views are my own
