In the latest episode of Apple TV\u2019s The Morning Show<\/span><\/a>, titled \u201cAmari\u201d, Nicole Beharie\u2019s character Christina Hunter is front and centre.<\/div>\n
Starring actresses like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon<\/span><\/a>, the hit TV show is in its fourth year and highlights the challenges faced by journalists who work in morning television. The show has never been one to shy away from addressing social issues such as media ethics, sexism and racial politics.<\/div>\n

In \u201cAmari\u201d, we see Christina, better known as Chris, a former Olympic medallist turned journalist, fight back against allegations that she used performance-enhancing drugs during her athletic career. Spoiler alert: Chris admits that the rumours are true and opens up about using the doping drugs to cope after she experienced a miscarriage five and a half months into the pregnancy. She had named the unborn baby boy Amari.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the star of the heartbreaking episode, Nicole Beharie.<\/p>\n

Beharie was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, in January 1985 to a Jamaican-English mother and African-American father. Her father was in the US Foreign Service, so she moved country to country as a child. She attended Juilliard drama school in New York City and was awarded a Shakespeare scholarship to study at the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was honoured to receive it, but I didn\u2019t think I was going to,\u201d she said in an interview with The I Paper in 2020. \u201cI remember thinking, \u2018They\u2019ve got all these people who fit the mould of who is supposed to get a Shakespeare scholarship.\u2019 And then I got it and I was like, \u2018Ooooh, what?! All right, then we are going!\u2019 It turned a challenge into an adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is an award-winning actress<\/strong><\/h3>\n
