Episode 15: Busk Like Everyone's Listening

Today, I talk busking in Berlin with my German correspondent and big sister Shakrah Yves! Busking is scary and strange and vulnerable and exciting, but it’s even crazier in a different country. Basically, busking is when you play for random people on the street, and it comes with all the joys and pitfalls you might expect. However, Berlin has its own crazy culture of street busking that's about as easy to understand as German. Today, life lessons learned from busking in Berlin and belting it out in the metro station (#1 tip: avoid the accordian player!!!). SO MUCH respect and love to my magical and talented singer, sister Shakrah Yves, for allowing me to record our weekly Skype call. She gives me inspiration every day, and you’ll see why on this episode. She truly embodies the ethos: Sparkle and Destroy. Listen till the end to hear her belt her heart out. (You'll want to hear her sing jazz standard "I left my Sugar Standing in the Rain.")
