This is Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls.

Hi, Rebels!

This is Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, the interview.

I'm your host, Jaila Nicholas, and today we're talking to Celeste Bell.

She narrated the story of the famous musician

and her mom, Polly Styra.

The first multiracial woman to lead a punk rock band.

If you haven't heard that inspiring episode,

go listen right now.

Don't worry, we'll wait.

Okay, Celeste, Can you introduce yourself to our listeners?

Hi, my name is Celeste Bell. I'm a filmmaker and a writer, and I've recently been working on a book and film project about my late mother, Polystyrene.

The book is called Dayglo, the Polystyrene story, and the film is called Polystyrene, I Am a Cliche.

You brought us the story of your mom, Polystyrene.

How does it feel to share her story with the world?

It feels great. You know, I think I've always had this feeling that my mom, she created

something of value. So in her work, her artwork, her lyrics, her music. I always felt there was a very

important message there in what she was doing.

And it was one that really needed to be shared with the world. And I always understood that,

you know, my mother's story could be inspiring for other people. And I knew that because people

would tell me, you know, how inspired they were by her work and how much of an impact her work had on their lives.

So these kinds of encounters really kind of motivated me to do all of these projects.
