Are You Michelle from Skins?

Shenae Grimes-Beech

WE’RE BACK!! And with an episode that shows EXACTLY why I created this podcast. I was thrilled when Shenae agreed to speak to me (having been the biggest 90210 fan) and even more so when her kind words about Are You Michelle from Skins? helped me understand the reason why I’m doing this, and made me cry. So many of Shenae’s experiences during, and after 90210 resonated hard with me and we both feel so thankful to have since created our own spaces to share our actual lived experience. Shenae speaks about difficult relations on set, getting chased in her car at 18, and how her trauma of those times are playing out now. I’m so blown away by Shenae’s story and so thankful to her for sharing.
