Ayesha Hussain: Stuntwoman making actual history in front of us (Deadpool & Wolverine / Gladiator II / The Acolyte) #605

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the first South Aisan stuntwoman in Europe, AYESHA HUSSAIN!

It doesn't hurt to start with a legit history making credential, but let's not limit Ayesha's work to simply that... This chat is one that locks in so much of what has been bubbling in previous more movie-centric episodes with a hugely refreshing positive outlook on the future of the big and small screen. Ayesha's story is all here for you to engage with, and hopefully will throw up some truly inspirational portals for those looking to join in the world of stuntwork and acting. You'll hear a super wide range of goodness in here including the lessons she learned from her mother and the forever legacy which lives on in her absence, where rage and joy meet, rebellion, the Babes With Blades collective, navigating immigrant mentality and working in concert with that, her own work attitude, journeying through burlesque and cowboy culture, and - as stated in the introduction - being the first South Asian stuntwoman. You know this is a big episode. Dive in immediately.
