A dramatic spirit, Cheryl Samad has always lived her life in the spotlight with grace and stunning vibrance. An award-winning television actress, Cheryl played the lead role in “Ghost”, one of the nation’s longest-running recurrent TV soaps. Having dabbled in singing and performing on Broadway, she acknowledges TV presenting is her true love. The host of MTV Asia and “Malaysian Idol”, Cheryl was also the face of the 2017 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games opening and closing ceremonies.

“What gives me confidence is a happy attitude. When I start the day telling myself that it is going to be a good day, it sets the tone, and I feel confident that everything will go my way,” the cheerful actress explains.

Cheryl acknowledges that her journey to selfempowerment was not a matter of mindset but gaining experience. “When I first got into the industry, I was a teenager and could not assert myself. I would listen to people and go with the flow, but at this age, I realise that the only thing you need is to be comfortable with yourself. Being comfortable with yourself means you’ll never compromise on who you are. Just be your authentic self, and everything will be fine.
