Interviewing Deanne Bray Kotsur was a new and important opportunity for me on a professional and personal level. I learned a great deal about the deaf community, and the needs facing deaf children. I also gained a deeper appreciation for the power of sign language as a tool for communication between the deaf community and hearing individuals. A big thank you to sign language interpreter, Cass Del Castillo, for her participation in this interview!

Mya-Rose Craig, also known as "Birdgirl," spoke with me days after graduating from Cambridge University with her bachelor's in political science. We discussed how she came to love birds, whether there is a negative aspect to environmentalism, and the emotional weight of wanting to protect the environment.

It was a privilege to interview Maia Morgenstern. She was kind enough to give me an hour of her time before acting in a live performance. Morgenstern talked with me about acting as a profession, the importance of self-respect, and some of her experiences as a Jewish woman and actress.

Mag Ruffman is a Canadian actress who has lived her life trying new things and jumping into new opportunities. For some starters, Mag married her husband of over thirty years three weeks after meeting him. She also started her own home improvement show for women shortly after getting her contractor's license. Three years later, she created another show centering around random DIY projects. Mag shared many more tidbits of her life story with me, which made for an engaging and fun interview. Enjoy!

I really appreciated my time with David Paetkau. He was honest about the good and hard of acting for a living, as well as walking through difficult situations such as marital stress during the COVID pandemic and a friend's suicide.

Alejandro Monteverde sat down with me after just arriving in Morocco to shoot his next film. He talked with me about his passion behind filmmaking, the film he is currently working on, and the frustration he experiences when individuals label films without understanding.

Sidney Bush, aka Sidney Greenbush, sat down with me over zoom and talked about childhood acting, what life looked like after playing "Carrie" alongside her twin sister on Little House on the Prairie, and the passing of Sidney's mom three years ago. Sidney also shared with me a sweet childhood memory (involving cooked frog legs) of her and her family visiting the original World Trade Center.

It was such a gift for me to be able to meet and interview former Celtic Woman, Órla Fallon, over zoom several weeks ago. She shared with me her experience of motherhood, and the joys that come from investing in hearth and home. Órla also told me some beautiful stories connected with her "Lullaby Time" album, and her desire for a peaceful and kinder world. She also has a new album in the works. ;)

Keren Blankfeld, a journalist who has interviewed billionaires and refugees, sat down with me to discuss her extensive research into the romantic relationship that blossomed in Auschwitz between two Holocaust survivors, David and Helen. Keren intended for David and Helen's story to just be a feature in The New York Times, but it went beyond that and became her first published book. Have you read the book? Watched the interview? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

I was introduced to Paul McGann's acting work through the TV series "Hornblower." However, McGann is more famously known through the "Doctor Who" television series as the eighth doctor. McGann talked with me about acting, his experience of the COVID pandemic, childhood, and spirituality.
