We Are Lady Parts season 2 have been released on Peacock and people are loving the show. This time the series have a cameo of someone special-Malala Yousafzai.
Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Prize laureate and a global champion for female education, has taken her activism to a new stage – the world of sitcoms.

The show, which follows a Muslim women’s punk rock band navigating the London music scene, has garnered praise for its fresh perspective and witty humor.
Yousafzai’s unexpected turn adds another layer of delight to the show’s already winning formula.
About the episode of We Are Lady Parts
The episode titled “Malala Made Me Do It” explores the challenges faced by young women from immigrant backgrounds, particularly those caught between the expectations of their families and their own burgeoning sense of identity.
Imani, the daughter of the band’s lead vocalist, Amina (played by Anjana Vasan), is a bright and rebellious child who feels increasingly misunderstood by the adults in her life.

When she gets suspended from school for throwing eggs at her teacher, Mr. Appleby, it’s the culmination of a series of frustrations. Mr. Appleby has decided to remove any mention of slavery from the history curriculum, a decision that Imani views as an attempt to whitewash history.
Amina, a first-generation immigrant who values education above all else, is disappointed and frustrated by her daughter’s actions. Yet, Imani feels unheard and unseen. She argues that Malala Yousafzai, a champion for girls’ education, would have understood her actions. In Imani’s mind, fighting for what’s right can sometimes mean breaking the rules.
The set of We Are Lady Parts
This sets the stage for the musical climax of the show. Driven by frustration and the ever-present pressure of deadlines, the band pours its emotions into a cheerful, catchy, country-inspired song called “Malala Made Me Do It”.
The song, with its chaotic mix of punk rock energy and evocative guitars, chronicles her struggle with eviction, creative differences, and the pressures of recording her first album.

We hear about a wayward drummer who insists on using trash cans as drums (because regular drums are too mainstream), a forgetful bassist, constantly losing instruments, and the lead singer’s struggle with writer’s block.
Imani’s rebellion serves as a recurring theme, adding a layer of social criticism to the band’s musical difficulties. The song culminates in a fantastic dream sequence in which Yousafzai herself appears, much to the band’s surprise.
From the Creators of Show
The creators of “We Are Lady Parts” were ecstatic to have Yousafzai join their cast.
In a press release, they said, “Malala’s commitment to girls’ education perfectly aligns with our show’s message of empowerment. And let’s be honest, she’s pretty darn funny too! Having her comedic timing grace our set was a dream come true.”
Yousafzai’s spot on the show has sparked important conversations about the need for more comedic roles for women of color, particularly those who are often stereotyped in mainstream media.
Could this be a turning point, paving the way for a new wave of diverse representation in the comedy world?
It’s certainly a possibility that has many fans excited.
Malala’s Appearence in the Show
Yousafzai’s appearance in the show is a testament to her growing influence beyond the realm of activism. She has become a pop culture icon, inspiring young people around the world to fight for their education and stand up for what they believe in.
This cameo appearance further broadens her platform, allowing her to connect with a wider audience in a lighthearted and engaging way.

But it’s also significant because it challenges stereotypes. South Asian women, and women of color in general, are often portrayed in one-dimensional roles on television and film.
Yousafzai’s comedic turn disrupts this pattern. It shows that these women can be funny, intelligent, and complex. They can be activists, musicians, and yes, even sitcom stars.
In doing so, Yousafzai paves the way for a new wave of representation in the entertainment industry, one that reflects the richness and diversity of the real world.
