Bellamy Young, Actress, Producer, Advocate
Description
"We're really in a moment of people having to reinvent, redefine, rediscover themselves. Our world changes so dramatically that I think it's helpful for us all to remember that there's no deadline and it isn't over. We'll keep finding things inside of us."
In this episode, WomenHeard host Julie Hochheiser Ilkovich interviews Bellamy Young, a 2025 Matrix Honoree and film, TV, and Broadway actress. After her iconic role as President Mellie Grant on the Shonda Rhimes's award-winning series Scandal, for which she earned a Critics’ Choice Award, she hasn't stopped! She's an ambassador for the global humanitarian organization CARE, for whom she created the podcast She Leads with Care to uplift the stories of incredible female leaders from around the world who have changed their lives and communities. Her first novel The Aetherion Code, a futuristic coming-of-age story co-written with her dear friend Fay Masterson, was published in July 2025. Listen to this episode for her perspective on support systems and what it means to "adventure in all directions".
