Julie and Tully are the mother-daughter team who started Berlin-based Rabbel Magazine. Jill speaks with them about their move to Berlin, the narratives that Rabb instills in their readers, and about the importance of diverse, enriching role models for young girls.

"Rabbel Magazine is for fierce-hearted preteen girls, replacing stereotype-heavy narratives with inspiring, uplifting, and validating content focused on creativity and global role models."

Vocal Fry is back from a hiatus with (a hay fever-plagued) Jill interviewing amazing Berlin musician LIZZY. LIZZY performs with her original 3DDD 3D printed drum suit, which allows her to get out of the DJ booth. Listen in to LIZZY talk about her life in Berlin, how she performs on the PLANE RIDE to SXSW (!!!), and about her upcoming album, all while Jill says "woah cool" over and over again.

Song: Tiger

Saba Khalid is a Berliner from Pakistan who founded Aurat Raaj - an online platform that utilizes tech and AI to educate, empower and entertain young women in Pakistan. Saba and Jill talk about how Saba first came to Berlin, the differences between the Pakistani and German startup worlds, and how young girls in Pakistan are using AI and chatbots like Aurat Raaj's "Rajji" to learn about everything from self-defense, to sexual health, to honor killings and much more.

Alice Backwell is an Australian native living in Berlin, and she's in the process of producing a podcast about the state of women's health in Germany. In this mini-episode from Vocal Fry, Jill and Alice discuss why Alice decided to produce a podcast, what issues she hopes to cover, and what Vocal Fry listeners can do to help crowdsource a Berlin guide to women's health. They also discuss women's boxing and the upcoming boxing camp for Berlin's women / non-binary / transgender people coming up this summer.

We are looking for the voices of real people living in Berlin who have firsthand experience with the women's health system. We'd love to hear from you, and of course, anonymity is possible.
