Actress Laura Sohn returns to Reppin for a powerful conversation about redefining success, owning your identity, and finding belonging on your own terms. Laura broke out globally on the hit NBC drama The Blacklist, and has appeared across television in NCIS and God Friended Me. Her work spans network television and the New York stage—always bringing depth, nuance, and authenticity to the stories she tells. But this conversation goes beyond the highlight reel. Laura opens up about the pressure so many of us feel—from family, culture, and society—to chase a very specific definition of success. In her twenties, she made the bold decision to step back from a hit show and ask a bigger question: What actually matters? What followed was a period of reflection, humility, and growth. It’s an honest conversation about curiosity, culture, family, and the courage it takes to stop proving yourself—and start owning who you are. Laura is also currently starring in the New York play JESA at The Public Theater. JESA follows four Korean American sisters who reunite to perform their father’s ancestral ritual honoring the dead. What begins as a ceremony quickly erupts into sibling clashes, humor, and the messy truth about what holds people together. If you’ve ever: questioned your path felt caught between cultures or wondered where you truly belong this conversation will resonate. 🎭 See Laura live in JESA!! https://publictheater.org/productions/season/2526/jesa/ 🎧 Listen to Reppin:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reppin/id1480913421 🌐 More episodes:https://reppin.tv Say hi!
