Interviewing the gorgeous Farrah Nuff was so deep! She was so grateful and was the most out spoken artist I’ve had to date, that is actively making change for breaking down stigmas for the LGBQT community and mental health.

Without every single person in life and their true uniqueness they bring to humanity it wouldn’t be what the world it is today. Everyone is so special remember that, let’s learn never to judge and learn to truly appreciate another!

Tennille Read stars In The New Season Of Workin' Moms Interview by Blaine Schlechter

TENNILLE READ Canadian Actress

Interview by Blaine Schlechter

Project Four PR

www.imherewithmag.com/blog-1/tennill…of-workin-moms

In Season 1 of Workin’ Moms, fans were immersed into the hilarious yet realistic lives of four women juggling motherhood with jobs and responsibilities. At the end of season two we meet Bianca played by Tennille Read. We’re getting a crash-course in the emotions and doubts that go along with deciding to get pregnant. And, of course, we’re shown the support system Frankie (Juno Rinaldi) can supply.

“It’s a great take on motherhood and starting from the very beginning,” Read says during a recent phone chat. “The fears, the anxiety, the uncertainties, especially showing it through the eyes of a single woman. Bianca is flying solo; she isn’t partnered with anyone and she’s deciding to start a family. I think that is unique to the show and hasn’t really been explored before.” Read teases viewers will see a new side to Frankie as well, because she’s in a place of more stability and can help. (Though, it must be said, Juniper did throw a curve ball at Frankie last week.)"

I’d like to start first by congratulating you on recently joining the cast of Workin’ Moms as the character of Bianca. Can you tell us a bit about the character and what she brings to the show?

Bianca is a friend of Frankie’s…their friendship was established in season 2, just at the end there, and she becomes Frankie’s friend. She is warm hearted and very generous; and she’s kind of courageous because she’s decided to be a single parent and Frankie kind of brings her under her wing since Frankie’s been through pregnancy and stuff before. I think what Bianca beings to the show is this new type of motherhood; someone who is flying solo with the process of getting pregnant and the challenges that come up within that.

Speaking of Frankie, you and fellow actress Juno Rinaldi have some great on screen chemistry, how did the two of you build that up so quickly?

(Laughs) How did we build that up so quickly? I think Juno and I are just pretty easy going people in general and so chatting with her off screen was really easy and so it kind of just translates very easily on camera as well.

It definitely comes across as some great chemistry and its fun to watch. Was it hard joining a TV show that is already established and showing some success?

It wasn’t, because everyone’s just super nice. I think it helped that most of the scenes that I started off shooting earlier in block 1 were just with Frankie, so it was a lot of one-on-one. I got to get to know a lot of the crew; there were familiar faces in the crew that I had worked with on past shows where I was doing those day player roles and there were a few of them like that so it was very comfortable to be on the set because I already knew them, so that was great. And over the few months that we were shooting, every so often I would run into a cast member that I wouldn’t have a scene with, or if I did it was very brief…like in hair and make-up or something. Like Dani Kind comes to mind, and she’s just so personable and nice. We could immediately start chatting like friends and that was across the board with a lot of the members. Also, Sarah McVie, who plays Val on the show, she lives in my building (laughs), so I got to know her before I started shooting season 3. So all these little connections helped make that transition onto the show smooth.

Power of Your Voice with Jill Power.

Congratulations on your new segment on CBC – Power of Your Voice. That’s so exciting. Tell us about the segment and what listeners can expect when they tune in?

That’s so exciting. Tell us about the segment and what listeners can expect when they tune in?

I’m a music student…I’m still in school studying voice at Memorial (University) with Edward Mark Murphy and basically what we’re doing is we go up to unsuspecting people in the street; preferably those without a musical background but we don’t really know until we chat with them, but must people I’ve spoken with have not had a musical background and we give them a quick voice lesson; a quick crash course on how to sing. People are really scared when they see me coming with a mike. People have been good sports about it, but there’s also people who kind of run the other way, which is to be expected. We give them a quick 5 minute crash course in how to sing and then at the end everyone sings a piece of a song, then we put together all of the clips of people singing the song and then we fade into the actual song. So it’s a really fun segment; its upbeat, it’s satirical, it’s just a fun experience for viewers and for people involved.

Unspeakable airs it’s finale on CBC on Wed Feb. 27th. You can catch up on all the episodes on the CBC Gem app and online.

MICHAEL SHANKS - UNSPEAKABLE

Q and A by Blaine Schlechter

You star as ‘Will Sanders’ in the CBC show Unspeakable which has its season finale on Wed Feb 27th. For those who haven’t been following or are planning on doing some binge watching to catch up on CBC Gem…tell us a bit about the show?

The series mostly focuses on a couple of families in the 1980’s who both have children that were/are hemophiliacs who, through the Canadian tainted blood scandal, one of them contracts Hep C and the other one contracts the AIDS virus.

It’s about the fallout and the fight against the institutions that allowed it to happen. It sort of explains it to the larger population bases that really didn’t know too much about what was going on about how these families dealt with it and are still dealing with it and how lives were affected during that time frame.

s there anything you can share about the finale or is it best to just tune in and watch it?

I think after the first seven (episodes) it’s hard, there’s so many different story lines going on. I say it’s mostly about these two families, (but) there is a large number of people that sort of get picked up along the way that all the parties are dealing with, both friends and people that are associated with the battle; nurses and lab techs and others that are part of it. It’s kind of best to tune into it, but obviously for anybody that can’t it’s best to watch it all the way through, otherwise it’s kind of hard to pick it up on the fly. There’s so many different threads that’s ongoing, and it takes place over a 25 year period, so it’s quite a complicated story that way.

Standing Up For What Is

Diverse and Right Is Actress Devery Jacobs

Devery Jacobs' Q and A by Blaine Schlechter

You have a very successful week with two shows premiering almost at the same time! Let’s start with the Netflix Original series that just debuted this week – THE ORDER. You play the character of LILITH BATHORY…tell us a little about the character and about what viewers can expect when they watch the show?

Yes, it seems like all of the projects I’ve done recently are coming together all at once! Lilith is a bad ass. She is a double agent between the two sworn secret societies. Lilith is really like not having this guy; she hates the order, she doesn’t agree with what Jack’s doing, but even though she’s kind of a tough character with a bit of a mean streak and some blood lust, she’s also a really good friend deep down. It was a really fun journey in exploring such a sassy character. It’s a fun show!

Brandon Rhiness Is A Rising Edmonton Filmmaker

One look at your resume and it’s easy to see that you are a busy guy. Let’s talk about one of your recent projects – Hot Box. What can you tell us about it?

I originally wanted to shoot a feature length movie that I would direct myself; of course we didn’t have a lot of money so the idea was it was originally going to take place all in and around a car. There’s a car at some sort of house party or bush party and people would go to this car to smoke weed. All this drama and comedy would happen inside and around the car. That’s where it started, but it stated morphing into a bigger story where we would have inside stuff too, inside the house party, and so me and my co-producers started adding storylines and funny things that could happen and next thing you know it’s kind of taking on a life of its own and became a big story. A lot of it happens in a car, but a lot of it happens inside this house too and there’s all these intersecting storylines…kind of like love stories and a few other funny stuff, like a band breaking up and there’s a guy that’s trying to propose to his girlfriend and doesn’t realize that she’s cheating on him and there’s a drug dealer that’s having a crisis of conscience and decides that he wants to help the environment instead of being a drug dealer and all these funny, intersecting stories. That’s how it all came about.

I'm very excited to tell this true story that focuses on five young women and how they used their unique strengths, resilience and friendship to overcome adversity despite several agendas imposed on them during their days in virtual captivity.”

“The Marijuana Chronicles” features an all Canadian female leading cast including Julia Stone (Weirdos, Wet Bum, The Killing, Everything will be Fine), Morgan Kohan (Ransom, Star Trek Discovery, Kim's Convenience), Tymika Tafari (Murdoch Mysteries), Brittany Bristow (Royal Matchmaker, Wildlife Quest, Shadowtown), and Kyla Young (Alias Grace).
