BUBBLE BATH STORIES: SHAEL NORRIS
This organization was first founded by 4 extraordinary women who are also Teen Sexual assault survivors! Even with the early and tragic loss of a co-founder, Daisy Coleman, the remaining founders continued to spread the education and importance of consent education. Not only keeping Coleman’s memory alive, but making sure what they experience doesn’t happen again. Shael Norris joined the organization to make a difference and credits these young women to helping her become an activist in her own right. Shael expressed to us the consent conversation doesn’t have to be weird between adults and their kids. “One of the things I say [to my kids] is, we have to live in there world we’re currently in, while building the world we want”.

BUBBLE BATH STORIES: BRANDON CURET
Brandon Curet isn’t just a fan of the show, but he in his own right is a local Mozzarella enthusiasts. A text thread about former President Donald Trump’s last minute pardons, lead to us to do a show about Lil Wayne and Kodak Black’s get out of jail free card. Brandon had a unpopular opinion comparing Grammy Award Winning Weezy to one of the most hated men alive, Tekashi 6ix9ine. Nicky has her opinions about former street artist being held up to Street Code. Also, Manny Oso wonders if Trump’s pardon came earlier, would it have saved Drake’s Masters. And we end with a comically incorrect Super Bowl LV prediction. Are Tunechi and Tekashi BOTH sell-outs? Who’s case is more serious? Weezy or Kodak Black? Is there someone else you think should have made the list?

Aneka Winstead, founder of WATTKid$, Inc designed a program to help children learn financial literacy to help them start, guide, build and secure their financial future. This isn’t something that’s built like an S.A.T. test, either. It’s designed to keep their attention and teach them! And don't worry the program is parent friendly as well. The conversation explored that teaching children finances, even if you as an adult don't know much about it. Aneka explained that while she was a parent participating in an after school program in her son's school she realized just how important it was to teaching children about finances. Aneka hasn't just developed color books or books, she also has a downloadable budget and business plans to help kids learn with more of a hands on experience.

BUBBLE BATH STORIES: JON WU
Jon Wu talks about his own family’s journey as they immigrated from Taiwan to Queens, NYC.Jon also speaks on how language in the Asian community is anything but basic. The movie does a great job at differentiating languages via subtitles, something Wu points out is very real in most Asian communities. Your Grandparents may speak Tawianese, but your parents are fluent in Mandrian, and you speak with your siblings in English. Nicky is particularly blown away by this because she already thinks spanish is hard to learn, but having to be fluent in multiple languages to communicate with family members is unfathomable. For Wu, however this was a strength he bought to set. He was able to help direct one of the actors who only spoke Taiwanese. Nicky does mention that while doing research for the interview she came across reviews for the movie that complained the accents of the actors portraying Taiwanese characters were a BIG disappointment, and Jon’s mother was also on that bandwagon of criticism. “You can’t perfect everything.”
