    Shan Boodram

    Sexologist, intimacy expert, and best-selling author Shan Boodram joins Anita Sharma for an honest conversation about sex education, building a career in an unconventional field, and why intimacy is about so much more than sex. Shan opens up about growing up in a conservative Caribbean household, writing her first book "Laid" at 24, moving to LA with nothing but $5,000 and a dream, and why a failed BET pilot pushed her to YouTube. We discuss the most common questions she gets about sex (mismatched libido tops the list), why she stopped reading comments after having kids, outdated sex myths that need to die, and how her content has evolved from "where is the clitoris" to exploring friendship and family love. She also shares why she'd never abandon YouTube despite it no longer being her main platform, the emotional toll of sharing vulnerable relationship moments online, and her new passion for drumming. This episode is for anyone navigating intimacy, relationships, or building a career in a space where you have to educate while you create.

    Michelle Khare

    2025 Time Magazine Top 100 Creator Michelle Khare joins Anita Sharma to discuss her journey from national cycling champion to YouTube creator breaking barriers in entertainment. Michelle opens up about successfully petitioning the Television Academy to get Challenge Accepted on the Emmy ballot, recreating Tom Cruise's plane stunt with FAA approval, escaping Houdini's water torture cell after 10 months of training, and her new Red Bull partnership. We discuss her "Keystones of Great Collaborators" checklist, why she tells aspiring creators NOT to quit their day jobs, hosting HBO Max's Karma, and building a media company with a 42-person crew. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to create opportunities instead of waiting for permission.

    Alyson Stoner

    New York Times bestselling author and former Disney child star Alyson Stoner joins Anita Sharma for a powerful conversation about the reality behind child stardom and their work advocating for change. Alyson opens up about the "toddler to trainwreck industrial complex," signing contracts before they could write in cursive, and why child entertainers are exempt from federal labor protections. We discuss their book "Semi Well Adjusted Despite Literally Everything," the $8 billion kid influencer industry, their advocacy work on the Kid Fluencer Protection Act, and Movement Genius—the mental health company they co-founded. This episode will make you rethink everything about fame, childhood, and what it means to be "well-adjusted."

    Drew Afualo

    Welcome to the premiere episode of Signed: Conversations with Digital Mavericks! Drew Afualo joins host Anita Sharma to discuss her journey from getting let go at the NFL to building 8+ million TikTok followers, hosting two hit podcasts ("The Comment Section" and "Two Idiot Girls"), and writing her book "Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve." We talk about the viral "Red Flags in Men" video that started it all, why agencies said she was "too contentious" to be marketable, her strategy for dealing with trolls, and how she makes celebrities fall in love with her on red carpets (hint: vodka and snacks). Drew's story proves that being unapologetically yourself always wins. Follow Drew: @drewafualo Disclaimer: I’m a lawyer, but this podcast isn’t legal advice. It’s for general information only.

    Introducing 'Signed: Conversations With Digital Mavericks'

    In 2013, Anita Sharma started representing talent who, back then, were simply called “influencers” - in a way, famous for being famous. Fast forward to today, and Sharma Law now proudly represents some of the most successful (what we now like to call) “digital-first creators” in the business. Their “influence” is earned through authentic, compelling, and insightful storytelling that engages their audiences. These digital-first creators are leveraging their influence and social media content into launching full blown media companies.  Signed is an opportunity for Anita to have deep and meaningful conversations with digital-first creators she admires. Every conversation she has on this podcast will start with the story behind the creator’s first post, and move on to cover topics such as what drives them, their creative process and how they built their media business. These creators are mavericks on the Internet, shaping the way we consume content. In short, Signed is a celebration of digital storytelling mavericks.
