The wait is over. We Are Lady Parts returns with its highly-anticipated second season on Channel 4, continuing the story of Amina (Anjana Vasan), Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), Ayesha (Juliette Motamed), Bisma (Faith Omole), and Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse) – the all-female Muslim punk band that challenges stereotypes and subverts expectations.
