PERFORMING LIVE in person (with social distancing) at SOUL PROVISIONS in Toronto. Click here for more info.
Excited to be featured on Beat Route Magazine
They interviewed about being a Gaga Impersonator, my thoughts on her new album, and where things stand with #artbirth
Interview here.
What I'm doing now that my industries are totally shut down...
As some of you know, I was set to fly to London UK to perform Lady Gaga: #artbirth for a 4 week run. Then we were going to San Francisco for 3 weeks. Also, Phoenix was busy working as a child actor on a huge TV show (not at liberty to discuss yet)… and as you can imagine it’s all on pause.
Also, some of you know I earn some steady income with short term rentals (a house near Disney, where it’s legal). Well that’s all kaput for the moment, too!
So what am I doing?
Diving back into TEACHING.
Also, accepting new clients as a LIFE COACH.
And some of you know that I have published some articles. I am also looking for more writing work. (creative, articles). I’m even seeing if there’s any on air hosting work I can get back into (remember when I hosted The Curious Cook, Under the Pink Carpet (PBS) and had a gig with Jerry Springer on Air America Radio?).
And, I am creating videos for clients as Lady Gaga (and other characters). Do you want to hire me to create a customized video for your company, or virtual event? Or, for only $100 you can hire me as Gaga (or Celine, Madonna, Alanis, Cher or Marilyn) to appear at your next zoom meeting. How fabulous is that!?
CONTACT me with questions.
As you can see.. I am hustling, like all artists at the moment. Unfortunately, our industries are hit hard, but I’m genuinely excited to see what new projects evolve from this. Necessity is the mother of invention!
If you have an idea for collaboration, hit me up! I’m also working on some online performances.
STAY HEALTHY. KEEP DISTANCE. FIND NATURE. FIND FUN. GO EASY ON YOURSELF. (this advice is as much for me as for anyone!)

In depth interview on Trent Talks

Athena is featured in HAVEABABY movie which raised 50K on Kickstarter!
Athena is so proud to be one of a few selected for HAVEABABY movie which follows her journey through IVF to HAVEABABY.
Thanks to your support, the movie can be edited and hit the festivals!
A note from the creators:
Our HAVEABABY campaign is officially complete and it was a smashing success! A heartfelt THANK YOU to every single one of our 478 Backers who helped us raise over $54,000!!!
We are blown away by how much support we received over the last 30 days. The film was covered in the The New York Times and The Huffington Post, we were selected as indieWIRE Project of the Day, were honored to be Kickstarter Staff Pick and Project of the Day, and also to be featured on numerous curated Kickstarter film festival pages including Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca Film Institute, SXSW, Rooftop Films Inc., IDFA, the International Documentary Association and IFP.
A central goal of this campaign was to develop a community and to start a conversation about infertility beyond the film. In anticipation of our film completion and this campaign, we posted our very first (and pretty emotional!) entry on Facebook exactly 2 months ago today, and have over a thousand followers now. We are so grateful and heartened by the show of support we've received over these last two months and we hope you will continue to follow the film as we bring it out into the world in 2016!!
Best,
Amanda, Serin, and the whole HAVEABABY team
Welcome Phoenix to the world!
After a long journey struggling with infertility I am pleased to announce the birth of my son, Phoenix Emet Alexander Reich on August 29th, 2015. He is healthy and cuddly and I am adjusting to my new life!
Also, I wrote an article about my journey as a single lesbian mother by choice struggling with infertility and it is now published in the national magazine GO MAG. You can read it online here (and see more pics) or pick up a hard copy by searching for distributors here. Also check out my Facebook page for more pics of me and Phoenix here.
Although I am nesting, I am still teaching and performing so don't hesitate to keep sending me students & performance opportunities.
Thank you sincerely for all your support.
Love,
Athena
