By Lina Romero  Brooklyn-born and Long Island-raised, Donna Morales is a vivacious and versatile New York actress who started dancing at age 6. By age 17, she was dancing professionally and eventually transitioned to a career in education, first as the owner of a dance studio and then as a teacher of early childhood education for the NYC Department of Education (DOE). After 25 years of service with the NYC DOE, she retired. But she never abandoned her love for the stage. At age 42, she began performing for regional theaters across Long Island and the outer boroughs and became active in children's theater, as well. More recently, she made her foray into Manhattan productions. Passionate about the performing arts of all kinds, Donna landed her first feature film role in 2018 and continues to act in TV/film, theater, and now voice-over projects. 2021 already has news in store for Donna, with new releases and virtual events on the horizon. In late 2020, she finished recording her first audio book, Naomi and the Reckoning, written by Christine Sloan Stoddard, for Quail Bell Press & Productions. She also performed in Sloan Stoddard's Zoom play Cyber Cinderella, as well as voicing the main character “Nessie” in Sloan Stoddard's radio play Nessie produced by Soundscape Theater. The following interview, taken by the Quail Bell Crew over email, has been edited for length and clarity.  The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

The Netflix To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before series has a special place in my heart. When the first movie in the series, based on the novels by Jenny Han, was released in 2018, I watched it with my friends and bought the book as a gift for my little sister but ended up reading it myself in one night. Now, I’ve read all three books and enjoyed the first two movies, so naturally I had high hopes for the third. The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
 You may know it's important to promote your creative work or you may not. (If you don't, start Googling and start learning!) Either way, this may be hard, emotionally, for you to do as a creative person and that's normal. Many writers and artists in the digital age find promoting their work via social media and other means embarrassing. They're 1. afraid of people's reactions (like artistic critique or personal judgment), 2. think it looks braggy or desperate, and/or 3. worry about the time commitment involved with adequately promoting their work.
Here's a quick counter to each of those points: The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
By Ghia Vitale  The plus size fashion world needs clothes in more extended sizes to begin with, but that’s not enough for me. I also want cute, hyper-feminine, dainty, and flirty clothes to be available in extended plus sizes. Having cute fashion available in extended plus sizes promotes accessibility, fat liberation, and inclusion, all of which are desperately needed by the fashion industry and the world at large.

By Audrey Garrett  Last Tuesday the Starbucks barista who handed me my iced coffee had the words "fed up" handwritten on her name tag. Her sarcastic label successfully protested her poor working conditions, including the understaffed drive-thru. I grabbed my coffee from her outstretched arm and made a mental note to join her in rebellion of underpaid baristas during my next shift at the local Richmond, Virginia coffee shop. I have worked as a barista there since October and will write "fed up" on my name tag until they fire me.
