SPECIAL EPISODE: For Season 2, Episode 19, in Honor of National Women’s History Month, my guest this week is Giada Celeste Chelli (vocalist) of Violet Blend, an Italian alternative rock/metal band formed in Florence in 2014. Known for their high-energy, sound blending rock, punk, and metal, they have released the albums White Mask (2017) and Demons (2021) and are currently working on a new album. As to why I chose Giada as my guest this week, with being #nationalwomenshistorymonth which honors the contributions of women to history and society, Giada is making a huge difference in Italy as an advocate for social issues, especially with a current campaign against stalking, to which she was a victim herself. Through her experience and advocacy she wrote a song called #thereignofsadness which is currently available for streaming and developed a role playing board/card game called #TalkOrStalk to heighten the awareness about this act of violence. The game is available for purchase on Bandcamp and through social media links. This week's episode is sure to impactful and educational that you don't want to miss. If you find this episode enlightening and educational please share.
