Celia Rose Gooding was nominated for a Tony for her Broadway debut performance as "Frankie Healy" in the rock musical JAGGED LITTLE PILL at just 20 years old. Her first memory of wanting to be a professional actor comes from watching her mother, LaChanze, win a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for her work in THE COLOR PURPLE in 2006.  After spending the last few years on Broadway, Celia can now be seen as "Nyota Uhura" in the hit Paramount+ original series, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds."

In this episode, Celia shares how growing up in a community of "theater people" helped spark her own artistry and how she sees diversity in those who create off-stage is just as important as on-stage.
