In today’s episode, Amanda drinks some sparkling wine with comedian, actor, writer, and host Aisha Alfa and chats about becoming an American citizen, pregnancy and motherhood, and so many iconic life mantras (we’ll invoice you for the free therapy later). Aisha was born in Nigeria, raised in Canada and now lives in the US. You will recognize Aisha from the iconic Canadian TV series “Degrassi”, Hulu’s “Good Trouble”, and “Sorry for Your Loss”. Her latest show, “Based On A True Story”, premiered last month on Peacock. As a comedian Aisha has performed all over the world including multiple galas at the prestigious Just For Laughs, Cape Town Comedy Club in South Africa and the upcoming Afrik Rire & Culture Festival in Geneva, Switzerland. Her comedy has been featured on the Drew Barrymore Show, and her comedy album “All The Parts” was included as one of Ebony Magazine’s “5 Black Female Comedy Albums to Get Your Chuckle On”. Aisha has an interview series called “Plus One” about pregnancy, fertility and motherhood, and she co-hosts the podcast "Shout Out Show" with Sophia Zolan where they offer a hilarious and positive escape from the everyday doom and gloom.

The Liquid Courage Podcast

Hey, I’m Amanda Pereira. I’m an actor, comedian, and creator based out of Toronto, Canada, and I get stuck in my head. A lot. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and if I can’t do something perfectly I don’t do it at all. I’ve wanted to start this podcast for years and I rewrote this description too many times to count. Admitting that feels scary because now I’m wondering if you’re surprised that I settled on this as the final product. See what I mean?But I’m really tired of trying to be perfect and constantly doubting myself. Like, I need a nap. It’s makes me withdraw from the people around me and it feels impossible to make new friends. When I meet people, I’m so focused on only showing the parts of myself that I think they would like, that I might as well not even be there. This imposter syndrome is even worse when I’m around fellow actors and artists, which leaves me feeling disconnected, like I “know” a ton of people in the acting and comedy community, without really knowing them at all. And damn does that ever feel lonely.But this year I’m turning 30 years old, and enough is enough! Enter: The Liquid Courage Podcast…Each week I will sit down with a different woman in the entertainment industry that I admire, that up until now I’ve felt inferior to and flawed in comparison, and finally have a truthful, one-on-one, candid conversation with them. Sound intimidating? Uh, yeah! So, in each episode my guest and I will enjoy their favourite drink (some liquid courage!) to help me get out of my head and finally ask these women the questions I’ve always wanted to.
