Nyla Watson is a dedicated actor, concert artist, voice coach, and competition singer in the New York City community. She is also the founder of Queen Nyla Studios, a progress-driven studio for those committed to being lifelong students and growing in their art. Today, she shares her journey of getting her Master's Degree, to getting into Broadway, to touring with musicals such as Wicked and The Color Purple. She will also share her experience of giving her life to God and how it helped her to find who she truly is in life. Personal Successes and Disappointments [04:41] Nyla recently lost weight during the pandemic and pridefully connected her weight loss journey with her fame. She had personal success during the pandemic but got disappointed when she didn't get the chance for Broadway. She then had a conversation with her father and her mentors and coaches to talk her into gratitude for the moments she had. Nyla's First Thought on Musicals [08:06] Being a student of a catholic school, Nyla viewed musicals as a bunch of choirs from churches. She viewed musicals as singing in churches and doing gospel leads. God's Miracles [11:22] God is amazing. If you think about God ordering Moses to talk to the Pharaoh, Moses doubted himself in his words. But God immediately said that He was the one who made Moses's mouth. Any shortcomings will be dealt with as long as God is with you. [13:08] Nyla's pastor recently preached about the Green Light at the Red Sea, which is about the children of Israel getting across the Red Sea. The story encompasses the wonders of God and how He can create miracles. Our Inner Guidance [18:38] The inner guidance system or the Holy Spirit that people call their instinct is real. It is the thing that tells us where to go and what to choose. The inner guidance system is the thing that helps us to live our best life. Many times, it will tell you something that logically doesn't make sense. But when you listen to it, you will be glad that you did. Bringing Characters to Life [22:16] Nyla often teaches that characters only have breath and body. Allowing characters to inhabit us is the only way for them to live. Characters live on the page until we breathe them in. It is our job to figure out the difference between you and a character, but also the similarities between you and a character so that you know what mannerisms to give them and when to move out of the way. Embracing your Difference [38:44] Black women are easily identified with their hair so much. There is a level of fearlessness that Nyla has in some respects. But she is fighting for her fearlessness and freedom. After cutting her hair, Nyla knew she would be fine because her parents, too, would cut their hair. She wasn't afraid if she would look ugly when he got her hair cut. She just knows that she is different and that she is learning to accept that everything about her is going to be different. And by embracing her difference, she knows that success will come for her. Just Do You and Be the Best Version of You [41:32] Don't be better. Be different and completely off. This notion became Nyla's calling in the industry. She always said to herself that she was just going to do it but in a different and unique way. Her point is to not be better than the last person but to be talked about by the people after her. [46:21] Nyla is the only one in her family who is not included. But she is the one in the family that became an artist full time. She was able to pave the way for creativity in her family. Her cousin became a glassmaker because of Nyla's passion.

In this episode, our guest is Christian David. He is an award-winning gospel artist, musical theater actor, and playwright. Today, he will talk with us about his first ever experience in Broadway and New York. Also, he will talk about performing arts theater, and his connection with God in his performances. Stay tuned! This is an exciting one! First Experience in Times Square [5:38] When Christian first got to Madison Square, he went to see his first Broadway show, Hadestown. His checkout was smooth and all of his requirements, like a vaccine card, were in order. When he got in, he had a great seat on the second floor. Interestingly, he was seated next to a lady who went to high school with the show's director. Expectations on Hadestown Musical [7:58] Watching Hadestown on Broadway met Christian's expectations. He first heard the music from Hadestown on Sirius XM, and when he finally got to listen to them personally on Broadway, his expectations were exceeded. When the cast first came out on stage, the energy in the room was electric, and their opening made everyone in the room erupt. Energy Performing on Stage [11:39] Being a gospel artist, Christian takes the focus off himself and just goes into autopilot. And being in a position as a gospel artist for him is vastly different when performing in theater. So when he is performing, he tries to empty himself so that he can have a connection with God that flows through him and get all the work he needs to get done. Performing in Theater [13:22] The theater is where Christian goes into flow with God where he thinks about playing his part and that he deserves to play the role. He then just instills into himself that he just has to go out there and own his performance. He knows that he has practiced and rehearsed well enough to perform. Doing God's Work [14:05] God can use us in any way on any platform. And even in those venues, Christian gives the glory of his performances to God. Even though he uses the platforms and spaces of theater, he trusts God for his performances in theater and that God will make sure that he is adequately prepared. Christian's Opinion on MJ's Cancellation after his death [16:06] Like any other artist, Christian would hate for someone to ignore his art and everything he has contributed to his craft and the genre he was in. He will hate that if the reason for the ignorance is the mistakes he made in the past. He says that allegations that came out because of public opinion are just allegations. Nothing ever substantial is substantially proven. The Myth about New York [29:00] Christian felt unsafe in New York, especially when he was opening up. One of the reasons was a myth about New York that says that you should not travel to New York alone. But when he was finally there, he was always by himself all day, but he never felt unsafe. People are walking so fast and moving where they don't have time to bump into anybody or get into an altercation. Nobody ever tried to rob him or did anything bad to him. Biggest Takeaway from Going to New York [33:48] Home Alone 2 was one of the movies that Christian and his mother would watch every Christmas. When he got to New York, he went to the places where Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin Mcallister in the movie, walked like the world-famous plaza. The experience was memorable for him, and he recommended everyone to go there.

In this episode, we have invited Tia DeShazor. She is an actor, producer, coach, writer, and co-founder of BOLD, a network for black women creatives. She actively creates change on the stage and develops new projects as a lyricist in the Advanced BMI- Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. She has also written commissioned work for Prospect Theatre's Musical Theather Lab, New York City Children's Theatre, Astoria Performing Art Center, and Girlhood the Musical. Today, she will share all about her experience as a new mother and the journey of accepting yourself and your uniqueness. Doing Multiple Things [2:05] Tia always wanted to be an actor. But she later found out that she couldn't keep herself in one place and be an actor. She had other desires to do and other problems to solve for herself as an actor. She then became a writer out of how she didn't like any of the available roles. Creative Power [4:56] Tia's main offer is Creative Power, a membership program that meets weekly to discuss everything artists talk about. Most of what is spoken about in the program are all about mindset. Privacy and Pregnancy [9:37] When you're 37 and married for ten years, there's the expectation of having a baby. Because of this, Tia became very private about her pregnancy. She didn't have any issues about being pregnant, but it became very personal for her. She felt that her pregnancy was a very private thing in her life where she didn't want to share it with other people. Fighting Postpartum Depression [23:42] Using her encapsulated placenta helped Tia with postpartum depression. The placenta will help the mother with either postpartum depression or anxiety, so Tia recommends eating the placenta. There is a doula that makes the placenta into capsules and a tincture. The capsule is supposed to prevent postpartum depression. So the tincture is like for like six months postpartum if you need a little boost. The Wash-And-Go Hairstyle [26:36] Tia has done wash-and-go with her hair since 2013. In 2008, she stopped straightening her hair and added twists and braid-outs. So in 2013, she decided to have wash-and-go because straightening her hair had a lot of work to do Hair Products [30:43] Tia has ordered some other hair oil recently. She puts oil in her hair to give it a shine during the week. Putting oil in her hair has to be done every week. She puts the time into conditioning her hair and taking a shower. How to Get the Best Results for Taking Care of Curly Hair [35:48] Tia always wanted curly hair. But she always straightened it. She had a relaxer growing up because she had a lot of hair growing up. Her mother would have a hard time with straightening her hair when she was young. So she took Tia to a beauty school to get her hair done and get it pressed. Accepting her Hair [38:15] Tia embraced having braid outs with her hair, but after getting a braid out, half of her hair would be down in a ponytail, and the other half would be up. But with that, she never did anything about it. Tia doesn't want to chemically straighten her hair because she doesn't want to spend time conforming to a white male standard. She likes to be simple, even when her hair is straight. Recommended Book [42:22] Tia is always reading a ton of books. One book she recommends is called “We Should All Be Millionaires” by Rachel Rogers. The book is an amazing program written by a black woman about making money. The book breaks down all of the things and misconceptions about money.

Featured on today's episode, host Salisha interviews Rachel Josefina and Susanne Puerschel. Rachel Josefina has a podcast called Mindset in the Making. She was on Susanne's podcast and it was divine timing that they met each other and became business partners. They created a new event where performing artists can work together and create community. Susanne is a mother and the owner of RISE Media. A media company supporting performing artists having the ability to gather more ways of earning income by tapping into the power of media that you're discovering now in 2021. Her podcast is called Pointe to Rise. Rachel and Susanne always wanted to do in person events and started with having small groups of workshops or having conversations to see what's really going on and how we can really support the community. They started to talk about scarcity mindset which just was blown up during the pandemic because nobody knew how to earn money. And they are convinced that all the scarcity, the pain and abuse we're seeing in the performing arts world is from a lack of finding our unworthiness, and how can we fix that. And how can we start creating and stop chasing, and they started with everybody in their community. Giving themselves the power to use their tools to really create for others, so that they have an equal exchange of energy. They also talk about perfectionism of being able to do your own self tape to save time and energy. No one can do it all perfectly. Trying to do it perfectly is setting yourself up to feel disappointed because it's never going to be perfect. It's not about being the perfect fit for whatever everybody else wants you to be. It's having the courage to really dig deep and that who you are is what makes you special. And that's what will set you apart and will get you the roles you want, and that's when you start creating and stop chasing. So join in as Salisha, Susanne and Rachel talk about scarcity and abundance mindset, perfectionism and how they are helping and supporting their community.

She also holds a minor in Philosophy. After seven years of studying and working in NYC, Olivia recently returned to her hometown of Toronto where she currently resides while also managing a full online store.

Where it started out as simply fun Zoom play readings doing what they love to do. They also share their love for what they do and not just sharing their stories about becoming a theater artist but also reflecting back on themselves which is something that is very integral to our very survival and happiness and mental health. Olivia also cites her side business which is in SideBIz. This is her store of beads where she sells her pandemic hobbies making beaded mask chains.

Julia shares that she has been able to work but it has shifted more towards recording and no longer just focuses on performing. In some aspects of her career, she's already not shifting away from performing but starting to include more curating. And also developing relationships with various artist organizations to helping them think about what their goals were and are, and how to satisfy them for any aspirations that they have moving forward into the future. She says what's happening is temporary will not last forever. She also mentions that this pandemic can go in a million different directions but she will have to claim humanity first. She also shares that identity is a challenging question because it has been challenging for her in the past since there are so many expectations with her multi-ethnicity or mixed heritage. She finds it fascinating that many critics feel that it is necessary to note what color or identity in some way she is. She stressed that she's so proud of who she is because it's taken some time and real consideration, healing, and self-love. She says there's nothing wrong with doubting yourself because it gets back to that self-reflection and finding it. The awareness where you can have tunnel vision of being a star in your own universe but what does that mean to be in the constellation of others. Julia talks about painful identity issues where she shares about not knowing how to take care of her hair. They went through this period when they have growing hair and not knowing how to really brush it and how to care for it. This brings tears to her eyes because she looks at her young nieces that her sister is raising. Her sister is watching YouTube videos exploring all different kinds of products, learning how to braid hair because she wants her daughter's hair to be a source of pride for them. So join Salisha and Julia as they talk about how Julia is coping up with the pandemic, her journey in her music career, and finding self-love and healing being of mixed ethnicity.

They learned to know when and where to be in control of things by finding a silver lining with people being forced to go home and stay home and do things differently. And now looking back, they were able to identify that they changed for the better. Salisha asks about their plans in the future and what they are grateful for. They are very much grateful for time because this pandemic has allowed people to look at time completely different. People rush a lot and it allowed them to sit still and be present in the moment.

Join Salisha and the rest of the gang as they chat about Broadway, how the pandemic hit them and what they are grateful for in life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Featured on today's episode is a professional graphic designer turned singer and songwriter, Dominic Grijalva. He is working for a decade as the Chief Design Officer in an indie record label based in New York and Seattle. He eventually turned to his first love which is music and singing.

Dominic shares that whatever you love to do and no matter what it is, there is a market for it. And drawing and designing is a thing that he loves and how he was being paid finding himself just doodling in his free time. He says that it all starts from having some inspiration, getting an idea, running with the idea, and taking action once receiving inspiration. He also shares that everything is born out of passion and just going for it. Dominic shares that he has no idea how he got into where he is now. He isn't even sure if he knows how to truly read music or play but when you have a passion and a desire for something, there is a way to make it happen. He stresses that if he gets struck by inspiration and motivation he needs to act on it otherwise he's going to regret will make him feel uncomfortable which is how he felt about this music. Where writing and producing his own music is something that he always wanted to do but he thinks he was just waiting for the right one.

He also mentioned that he is working on about three or four songs on the same label where he is taking the initiative on lyric writing.

Featured on today's episode Salisha chats with Market your Genius author and podcast host, Nikki Nash. Nikki shares her journey of starting her own business where she tells people that they must have some blissful or naive optimism that it's going to work out. She thinks that people need that kind of blind optimism to keep moving forward because nobody has a perfect journey in entrepreneurship. Failure is something that you're going to face. But she learned something from it and she's going to implement what she learned and it's going to be better the next time. She also thinks that people often don't realize the wealth of knowledge that they have on different things. Whether it's through life experiences or an actual career job. People may feel you have so far to go but that doesn't mean that you can't help the people that are behind you. It means you don't have to be famous to feel like you can help somebody else. It means we can start exactly where we are. Salisha asked Nikki what would she say to somebody who is trying to get into an industry that they know nothing about. Nikki answered by telling about a video she watched from a motivational speaker, Brendon Burchard. And in that video, he said that if he looks at your calendar and he can't tell what your priorities are, then they're not going to happen. Nikki goes on to say that if you want something, you focus on it right now. Listen in as Salisha and Nikki discuss her book, podcast, and her entrepreneurship journey.

Featured on today's episode Salisha chats with Tony award winner, Karen Olivo. Karen tells about her take in an article where she said that being a domestic abuse survivor she is compelled to do something that it all just felt necessary for her to exist. What she's seeing right now is that the industry she's in needs her to be an activist. They also talked about what Karen will do if the entire Broadway community were not going back to work. Karen answered that she's going to have to get another kind of job but it's not going to be an acting job. Another question asked to Karen is her family upbringing because Salisha is fascinated by Karen's confidence. She said that she did a lot of reading and training where she mentioned a book which is the Psychology of Oppression, which she's trying to utilize these resources in real-time at all times. Karen shares that she tries to advocate for herself because when she doesn't she will leave the door open to be mistreated. So she's constantly trying to model standing up for herself because she knows that there's someone else who probably needs it. She's using her skillset to push over uncomfortability so that she can advocate for herself. Salisha takes the conversation to Karen being an educator where she's been on and off for close to 10 years where has taught at a couple of colleges. She started to rethink that she might do more in private coaching where she has a handful of students that she teach now. She usually tries to get her students to turn off all other stuff and really get quiet and think about what they know to be true. And then approach all of the work from what they know that will give them a little more competence rather than trying to adopt something that they've seen. So join Salisha and Karen as they discuss Karen's journey in standing up for the truth and coaching career that inspires a lot of her students to be more competent and unique in their own way. Resources mentioned: https://www.springerpub.com/the-psychology-of-oppression-9780826178169.html (Psychology of Oppression) by E.J.R. David Ph.D. and Annie O.

Featured on today's episode Salisha chats with Broadway musical actor Abby Mueller. Abby stars as Jane Seymour in the blockbuster hit Six, the musical. Abby shares several choice moments when she had to perform sick and what goes through her mind to where she can relax and doesn't change the quality of her performance. She tells what you hear in your own head doesn't match what actually people are hearing out there which is a hard moment when you have to know when to live and learn. Salisha takes the conversation about Abby's preparation for the play coming to America where Abby shares that it was already a big hit in London but there was already a buzz about it. Then she mentioned working with the London cast where the creators are so young and new. She added that they are allowed to do their own thing within the framework that as soon as they started it was pretty fast putting the whole thing together that all of their brains are exploding, but they had rich sessions. Abby shares that the show on Carol King was a biographical, musical stick and is stylistically different. In those times there's not a lot of actual historical data so they had to fill in a lot of gaps. One of the things that's been super cool that the show and the writing does so brilliantly is show that it hasn't changed in so many years, that women are still parallels and how modern it is. And she thinks it's really clever, really smart and really awesome. Join in as Salisha and Abby talk about Abby's musical shows and how she overcome the challenges brought by the pandemic.
