Back in June, Christie & Izzy sat down to pass the mic to Anya Randall Nebel.  At the height of the Black Lives Matter protests and COVID-19, Anya carefully traces her family's journey through generations of amazing Black women.  From Anya's Grandmother's roots as a domestic worker in Ellicot City, Maryland, to finding her own joy, freedom, and connection in music & theatre, to mothering a daughter through the protests, police violence, and the uncertainty of 2020 - this episode is packed with the kind of richness that only an incredible storyteller like Anya could bring.   ANYA RANDALL NEBEL’s 40-year career as a singer, actor, director and producer, has taken her on many successful national and international tours. She was last seen at Spotlighters Theatre in their production of Love Letters. Shortly after, Ms. Nebel appeared in the critically-acclaimed and Helen Hayes recommended, Lady Day in the Anacostia Playhouse. Ms. Nebel, having recently opened her directorial debut at the DC Fringe Festival with Soul Redeemer, also holds a 2017 Bachelor’s Degree in Music Production and Engineering from the Berklee School of Music. Anya is a three-time Honors Recital soloist at Carnegie Hall, and is the premier founding member of Winters Lane Productions, a company that teaches and mentors young performers in the business of theatre. Currently, Anya is the Managing Director of LaTIDo, DC's premiere musical theatre cabaret and spoken word series. Tune in to Ms.Nebel’s solo album and podcast, Brown Girl Loves Classics, now available to stream on major podcast platforms.   THE HER MIC SERIES:  The Her Mic series is our way of passing the mic to women of color, in particular Black women, whose voices and stories have been marginalized for too long, as well as women who have experiences bearing upon the important conversations around anti-racism. In typical FWSS fashion, these are heart-centered conversations, told from where She sits.

On this episode, your two favorite Capricorns unpack their relationship with Joe B. and BDR - their dads. Christie’s dad passed on unexpectedly shortly after FWSS launched, so it brings her so much comfort to unpack all the quirks that made BDR the great man he was (and still is in her heart). As Izzy described “Joe B.” (as he is called by EVERYONE), she reflects on all of the qualities that make him the most supportive and reliable man she knows. Both of these men share so many qualities - admiration from their daughters being at the top of the list of commonalities.   Like what you hear?
