How can a brand be a tool for transformation,not just for yourself, but those you serve and the world at large? I sat down with songwriter/"artivist" Lisa Forkish and self-love apparel founder Thomas Ng to discuss the great need for transformational healing in all aspects of our lives, and how their businesses are built around that. From Thomas' unique "mirror affirmation" shirts to Lisa's stance on decolonizing the elitism around using our voices in song, these two bring a fierce yet gentle message that I know will be balm for your soul. Both Lisa and Thomas are alumni of Personal Brand: reINVENTED, and it was such a thrill to have them in this coaching program. They arrived ready to go deep and seeing their messaging evolve and sharpen was exciting. About The Guests: Thomas Ng is a Self-Love Coach, and founder of self-love apparel brand, Affirm Your Transformation. He has a passion for helping Sensitive Souls struggling with issues of self love, self acceptance and self esteem heal, so they can find peace & release, and live happier, freer, and more fulfilling lives.

Notes: Lisa Forkish shares her song, Hymn to Loving, and talks about song titling, songwriting away from keyboards, deconstructing binaries, singing as a pure, liberating expression of the self, learning to love and be tender with our voice... and the surprise of connections through Zoom. Now, maybe that's all immediately appealing to you, or maybe it sounds complicated and brain-challenging! Let me tell you, Lisa has a gentle, welcoming presence and wide-open curiosity and questioning that makes this conversation a pleasure to eavesdrop on -- and whether her views raise questions for you, or drop easily into your pocket, I hope you will find useful connections through Lisa's explanations and in the links to help you follow up on whatever sparks your interest. She talks a lot about what she experiences as healing in voice work... and a tiny bit about her experience with the movie, Pitch Perfect, and her role in popularizing and opening up the collegiate acapella world. Songwriter Info: Lisa Forkish (she/they) is a queer singer-songwriter, community-builder, artivist, song-healer, and self-described "Love Warrior," infusing all she creates with fierce authenticity and heart. For the past 20 years, Lisa has been using song as both an expressive art and a tool for building connection. For Lisa, facilitating music spaces is much more than a job; it is a sacred calling. Lisa breathes humanity into their music and teaching with infectious joy and compassion, aiming to heal the wounds of music elitism and not-enoughness through an embodied, trauma-informed and heart-centered approach. For Lisa, Love is paramount and closeness is the antidote to cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacist delusion and cultural disconnection. Lisaʻs mission is to utilize music for personal and collective healing and liberation.

Notes: I love a layer song which gives me options -- what do I feel like singing? Is singing low and warm feeling yummy? Or floating high? Or getting snuggled in the middle of a set of harmonies? Lisa Forkish's "Possibility" song offers all those choices, starting with a low, potentially gritty, determined line that says "An end is not THE end -- it can be the beginning." Then a fluid river line that requires some release to sing, as it flows among notes. Finally, when singing about being open, there is an amazing note on the word "open" that moves the whole song into a slightly unexpected place, giving a visceral experience of opening up to a different possibility. Love it. Song that helps me embody the knowledge of possibility that change brings.

That everything that is needed to provide the perfect situation for self-expression through work and career through divine purpose, through the givingness of ourselves to this world, to stepping into our vocation, the reason that we are here and Whose we are becomes very very clear.

And, as all of the Acaville original content, we'll be on break for the holidays and we'll be back with Episode 23 with Lisa Forkish on January 7th!
Renowned arranger, director, and activist Lisa Forkish sits down with Deke and Dietz to talk about inclusion in the a cappella community. Lisa draws upon her experiences in Divisi (the group that inspired Pitch Perfect), her annual festival WeSing, and her passion for music to help explore the question: why aren’t there more women in a cappella? Additional segments: Arranger's Corner with Kevin Olusola (Pentatonix - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen), and Sound Tutorial with Deke Sharon (Vocal flute). Counterpoint: Should groups change their arrangements in the studio? Original Song - "Love Warrior" by Lisa Forkish. Used with permission.

In this week's episode, hosts Deke Sharon and Rob Dietz sit down with two of the current members of The Kinsey Sicks, "America's Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet." The hilarious and musically-talented Jeff Manabat and Nathan Marken, AKA the current Trixie and Winnie, talk through the group's humble and socially-minded beginnings in 1993, and how the members of the group have remained faithful to their original authenticity and political mindset up to and through the most recent celebration of their 25th anniversary. With heart, sincerity, and pure fun, Jeff and Nathan discuss the importance of finding purpose and intention in song choice, and how the a cappella community can continue to lift up different identities and performances that might not always fit the mold. Additional segments: History Minute featuring Lisa Forkish about the group that inspired the movie Pitch Perfect, and a Sound Tutorial with Kid Beyond. Original song: Jerry's Song by The Kinsey Sicks (used with permission)

"I've gotten really into Dollhouse," says Lisa Forkish. "My whole family is obsessed with Joss Whedon." And yet, somehow, her music stands in stark contrast this geek cred. Forkish exists deeply. Her songs are calculated and considerate, showing off her broad talent at the piano. Enjoy the show, and the six live tracks we recorded with Lisa, all free to subscribers in iTunes or our newsletter.
