REWIND: Thinking about the NYC Subway (IKR?!) & Feeling Nostalgic
Sun, 23 Aug 2020 10:00:00 GMT
I'm feeling nostalgic and missing the hustle and bustle on New York City pre-Pandemic. This episode is a REWIND from the SERIES- NYC Stories: " NYC Transit Olympics & The Platform Agility Event"
Seats are at a PREMIUM on the subway. So if you're on the platform, and see a train coming into the station with super crowded train cars, and there is a T-O-T-A-L-L-Y E-M-P-T-Y car in between those other packed subway cars--choose wisely. There is a reason for this wonderful gift of alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the seats.

REWIND: NYC Tribute to The Friendly Neighborhood Bodega (It hits kinda different now...)
Fri, 22 May 2020 20:31:19 GMT
EPISODE REWIND: It's Memorial Day Weekend 2020 in New York City, and we are cautiously taking steps towards towards the light and eventually moving away from of sheltering in place. This previous November 2019 episode will explore a different time when we stood shoulder to shoulder (gasp! remember THAT?!?) every morning at the mothership: The neighborhood bodega. To this New Yorker (& others), the beloved bodega is a part of NYC life that keeps us grounded, connected and sane. We miss you (#HeyCorona), but we look forward to the reunion!

Salute from balcony, fire escape & window (The 2020 NYC Nightly Essential Workers Cheer)
Sun, 03 May 2020 08:47:09 GMT
(Episode and Nightly Cheer recorded live on 5/2/2020.) Every night at 7:00 PM as New York City continues to shelter in place, NYC celebrates and cheers for all essential workers. (Because #RESPECT.) Come listen in... This is real audio of the nightly cheer as recorded from my apartment window on 5/2/2020. The final Nightly Cheer audio was then added to a music track. That loud clanging in the beginning? Yeah, that's me cheering while standing at my window with my metal bowl and spoon (lol). The rest of the audio is cheering from the street and neighborhood below. To all Essential Workers: Thank you so very much. For EVERYTHING. --- #voicetalent #audio #storytelling #podcast #narration #audiobook #podsincolor

Be Like Birdie & Dip It Low with A-Bumm-A-Chikka!
Fri, 27 Dec 2019 05:11:14 GMT
Birdie was the neighborhood legend from my childhood who had a vibrant spirit, and always celebrated the joy of life. She was an older lady around my grandma's age at the time, and she was from the islands, and was an absolute delight. Everybody knew and loved Birdie. Her standard attire was the brightly colored floral Mumu with matching turban, with multiple sparkly necklaces and dangle earrings to complete the look. #Fashionista There was absolutely no mistaking Birdie for anyone else, and once Birdie considered you a friend, in order for you to continue a conversation with her, you had to dance the A Bumm-A-Chikka. It was Birdie’s favorite dance from the Islands…

Both require strategic momentum, tons of foundational work, getting comfortable with a different point of view, and the hardest part of all: surrendering control--whether to gravity or to stepping out your own comfort zone.
