S3 E02 I The R&B star standing up for sisterhood

Sherihan Hersi -- Cherrie to her friends and fans -- is one of Sweden’s biggest emerging artists. She recently picked up a Swedish Grammy award for 2017's Best Hip Hop/Soul Artist and has collaborated with stars including Stormzy, Seinabo Sey and Zara Larsson. The 27-year-old is proud to have spent her teenage years growing up in Rinkeby, one of Stockholm's most notorious suburbs, where she says she made friends for life. But she's also concerned about how rising crime and mental health problems could affect her neighbourhood's future, and hopes she can be a role model for future generations.
