Sandi Klein's Conversations with Creative Women

Nicole Bryl's mission? To make people look and feel their most beautiful whether they're walking the Red Carpet, posing for a fashion spread or making a television appearance. The celebrity make up artist has been doing just that for the last 30 years. Her client list includes Brooke Shields, Debra Messing, Naomi Watts, Melania and Ivanka Trump. She's created and developed her own product line - Nicole Bryl Artisanal Vitamin C Skin Care. Hear Nicole's personal and professional story.

The world needs more women like musician and social activist Sharon Katz. Born and raised during South Africa's apartheid regime, and inspired by by Nelson Mandela's release from prison, she made history of her own...bringing together 500 black, white, colored and Indian children to form the country's first ever multi-cultural and multi-lingual choir. She took that musical message all over South Africa, and what followed was Sharon Katz and The Peace Train. She continues to spread the message of peace and reconciliation through performances and workshops around the world - the story documented in the film, When Voices Meet.

Irish novelist Yvonne Cassidy loves to read and she loves to write. And for that we're grateful! The author of The Other Boy, What Might Have Been Me, and How Many Letters Are In Goodbye, she's working on book number 4. Even though she moved to New York City in 2011, Yvonne still writes feature and opinion pieces for Ireland's leading publications. She also leads the creative writing program at Manhattan's Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen - fostering the talent of homeless and marginalized writers. Enjoy this frank and fascinating conversation.

Get to know funny and talented Carol Tandava Henning, actress, stand up comedienne and now... belly dancer. Carol

says belly dance lessons changed her life - helping her heal both

physically and emotionally after undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. Through wit and humor, she describes that journey in her

solo show Blood on the Veil, which explores the healing and

transformative power of dance.

This week we revisit our conversation with Sabriye Tenberken - a woman who

gives new meaning to activism and inspiration. Born in Cologne,

Germany, she became blind at age 12. A trip to Tibet as a young adult

was life-changing. Sabriye, along with Paul Kronenberg, founded Braille Without Borders,

a world-wide organization that creates training programs and Braille

book printing houses. The two are also the co-directors and co-founders

of Kanthari, an international institute for social visionaries based in Kerala, South India.Sandi Klein's Conversations with Creative Women returns with an all new show next Tuesday.

This week we revisit our conversation with Wendy Crawford. On a summer day in 1984, while driving to the airport for her first international modeling gig, 19 year old Canadian Wendy Crawford was

hit by a drunk driver. Wendy never walked again. As she struggled to

come to terms with life as a quadriplegic, Wendy saw the need to develop

a way to raise awareness of, and become an advocate for, women facing

physical challenges. So, in 2002, she founded mobileWomen.org, an online

magazine that provides information and a community for women in

wheelchairs. Her story is one we all need to hear.

This week we revisit our conversation with Carla Kaplan, Professor of American Literature at Northeastern University. Carla introduces us to "Miss Anne", the collective term used to describe a group of white rebellious, romantic, risk taking women who were part of the Harlem Renaissance, but until now, mostly relegated to the sidelines. Seven years in the making, her book, Miss Anne in Harlem, brings their stories to light. They're fascinating and amazing. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Meet Queer-Mama-Sapien Pandora Scooter. She's been called the funniest atheist/Amerasian/dyke/spoken word artist you'll ever see and hear. Founder of Stand Up & Stand Out Productions, she's written a slew of one-woman shows. Her most recent, I Am Enough tackles suicide among LGBTQ youth. Pandora's working to bring that number to zero by exploring and exposing their pain, while building self-esteem and self-confidence. She's a real force of nature.

A return appearance for the wonderfully refreshing, no-holds barred actress/voice-over artist/commentator Nancy Giles...who, since 2002 has been sharing her views, comedic and cutting, on CBS Sunday Morning. Sit back and enjoy another fascinating, provocative, and entertaining conversation with the irrepressible Nancy Giles.

Author, social thought leader, innovator, Robin Rice doesn't believe in the status quo, especially when it's not working. And to that end, her company, Be Who You Are Productions, is behind a wide range of free creative social change projects including Stop The Beauty Madness Campaign and YourHolidayMom.com. Tune in to a conversation that is thought provoking, empowering and even somewhat unorthodox.
