Brett Butler: That One (Husband) Friend

In our season 2 finale, we go way back with my husband Brett Butler. We take a walk down memory lane, and share how we met and became friends; how an 8 year friendship turned into "love", and what took so long for us to FINALLY get together. (hint; it was me). We also discuss how other romantic relationships impacted our personalities along the way, and how being friends first affected the dynamics of the relationship. This is a funny yet, sometimes heartbreaking, and insightful story of not only our love story, but a journey self-worth and discovery. ABOUT BRETT: Husband. Father. Sound Guy Extraordinaire. Outnumbered by women and okay with it. If his voice sounds familiar, you might remember him from his former life as a voice over artist from the cult-classic animated comedy 'Sea-Lab 2021' GUEST LINKS: INSTAGRAM: @brettjb25 NOSTALGIC INSTAGRAM: @scccomedy Sinatra inspired music video "Baby Got Back" on Huffington Post -------------------- Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social Media HOST: @saudiarashed SHOW: @thatoneblankfriend WEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.com For guest inquiries email: thatoneblankfriend@gmail.com

Danielle Ellis: That One (Artist/Activist) Friend

In this conversation I catch up with my former high school classmate, artist and social activist Danielle Ellis. We discuss her educational journey and the validity of higher education; how dealing with divorce and her own sexual identity brought her back to creating art; and how she is using her initiative, “Mermaids Bring Water”, to provide clean water to communities, as well as how her activism serves her art and community. ABOUT DANIELLE: Danielle Ellis is an Oak Cliff native always ready to share her love of the arts with everyone at a moment’s notice be it painting live or holding workshops through her creative incubator Brassfly Studio. Her art education came from her parents, summer workshops at the South Dallas Cultural Center, attending Booker T. Washington High School of the Performing and Visual Arts and later The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She is also the creator of Mermaids Bring Water, an initiative that provides clean water to communities in need. Her words: “In my work I delve into our spiritual history as a form of survival, resistance and celebration. So often the narrative has been that African Americans are so far removed and void of culture. We have retained in many ways our roots and that includes spiritualities from our Ancestral home (Africa). We are of many African cultures forced together on new lands. We’ve held onto the scraps of what we were and patched a quilt into who we are. As a spiritual practitioner with a deep love for our people, I express that in all mediums, which includes creating public/private altars and community service. My life’s work is of uplift, veneration and celebration.” ---------------- GUEST LINKS: INSTAGRAM: @brassfly_studio INSTAGRAM: @mermaidsbringwater ETSY SHOP: Mermaids Bring Water GoFundMe : Bring Water to Sandbranch FACEBOOK: Brassfly Studio: An Eco Urban Experience FACEBOOK: Mermaids Bring Water -------------------- Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social Media HOST: @saudiarashed SHOW: @thatoneblankfriend WEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.com For guest inquiries email: thatoneblankfriend@gmail.com

Mathew Boudreaux: That One (Mister Domestic) Friend

How does someone who started sewing for fun end up creating a business and an active sewing/crafting/quilting community by spreading joy & positivity? In my conversation with Mathew Boudreaux, we discuss what jump started his passion for sewing and crafting; how a background in business and communications prepared him for creating his business, Mister Domestic; and how a horrible phishing experience brought him to the realization of prioritizing his own authenticity to close the gap between Mathew & Mister Domestic. ABOUT MATHEW: Mathew Boudreaux of Mister Domestic learned to sew as a kid, but never really got into it until he had his daughter Helena, who is now seven and a half. He thought it would be a great way to connect with her if he could make her cool clothes. With a new motivation to up his attention-to-detail, the quality and coolness far exceeded even his own expectations. Once he started posting his projects on social media, the quilting world quickly took notice of his fearless use of color and print, incomprehensibly fast output, carefree enthusiasm and humor, and ability to seek out, acquire and share new skills. Making projects from fabric weaving to English Paper Piecing to apparel to the 3-dimensional, you can find his fabric party on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. As a fabric designer, get ready to bring this party into overdrive as he translates his chic, edgy, and whimsical style into an in person experience for everyone to enjoy. And as a community, Mister Domestic is a truly inclusive space, where all are welcome, unless your happiness is based on the oppression of someone. ---------------- GUEST LINKS: WEBSITE: Sign up & keep updated on his latest at Mister Domestic INSTAGRAM: @misterdomestic YOUTUBE: Mister Domestic Channel FACEBOOK: Mister Domestic on FB -------------------- Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social Media HOST: @saudiarashed SHOW: @thatoneblankfriend WEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.com For guest inquiries email: thatoneblankfriend@gmail.com

Angelina Spicer: That One (PostPartum Depression) Friend

What is postpartum depression really like? What does it feel to be a mother that's really in the trenches with depression? An honest, hilarious and insightful conversation with comedian and 'accidental activist', Angelina Spicer. Strap in kids, this is a good one. Her movement and also the title of her documentary, "The Push For Permission" is not only a love letters to all mamas, but a call to action to raise awareness to PPD and hopefully shed the stigma it brings. ---------------------- ABOUT ANGELINA: Comedian, Creator and “Me-Time” enthusiast Angelina Spicer has built an impressive online presence with her viral comedy sketches. It began as she portrayed Tyra Banks, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj on the Disney web-series Electric Spoofaloo. Her viral success catapulted her career from phone screens to the silver screen, when she appeared in several episodes of hit talk show THE REAL, as well as playing a crazy mix of characters on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, and CONAN. Many of her sidesplitting skits have been featured on Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Funny Or Die, WorldStar Hip Hop, Essence magazine, and have been tweeted by countless celebrities including Shonda Rhimes, Taraji P. Henson and Taylor Swift. Angelina became an outspoken advocate for maternal mental health, when she was released from a psychiatric hospital for treatment of Postpartum Depression. It was then that her journey to remove the stigma from the shame from PPD began. The documentary film she is developing 'The Push for Permission' will address her twelve month struggle with postpartum depression. Much like her live standup comedy shows, the film is slated to hilariously depict Spicer’s awkward transition into motherhood, her ridiculous race to return to work, complete denial of her postpartum struggles, her acceptance, recovery and triumphs over the illness. ------------------- GUEST LINKS: INSTAGRAM: @angelinaspicer TWITTER: @angelinaspicer TIK TOK: @funnyangelinaspicer DONATE TO DOCUMENTARY: Push for Permission Doc FOLLOW ‘Push for Permission’ Movement & Doc: The Push for Permission on IG -------------------- Please Subscribe to That One (Blank) Friend on Apple Podcasts & Spotify and follow us on on Social Media HOST: @saudiarashed SHOW: @thatoneblankfriend WEBSITE: SaudiaRashed.com Tickets for my solo show are here for 'Release and Let Go: A Journey of Solo Artists' show streaming live November 7th at the Whitefire Theatre.
