Nida Manzoor’s We Are Lady Parts, a British series featuring a punk rock band of all Muslim women of color, premiered here in the US on NBC’s Peacock streaming service! It’s a landmark in Muslim representation for so many viewers worldwide, who haven’t been able to see themselves represented on screen like this in such a subversive, yet bold, way like this before.
We at The Nerds of Color were fortunate enough to speak with one of the stars of the series, Faith Omole (Bisma, Lady Parts’ bass player), who told us the experience of making this amazing series, what this role meant to her, and what she would like to see in a Season 2!
