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.

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.
