At 28, a time when most of her friends were settling down, May Calamawy moved to a new country to pursue an acting career. She has no regrets. Anyone who’s lived a little knows that no matter what course your life is on, everything can change in an instant.
A party invitation you accept, a phone call you decline—even whether you return a stranger’s smile or put on your headphones instead—an action (or inaction) that unfolds in mere seconds can upend your trajectory. In , Glamour talks to some of the most interesting women we know about the pivotal life moments that have come to determine who they are today.You might know Calamawy as Layla, a.k.a. Scarlet Scarab, Marvel’s first Arab superhero in Moon Knight.
