ANASTASIA WASHINGTON is an actress, writer, singer, comedian and filmmaker who has recorded with artists like Michael Jackson, and Harry Connick Jr. She's made appearances on The Addams Family Series, Die Hard 2 and La Femme Nikkita and even featured on LadySpike with her piece “8 Things Not To Say To Your Biracial Friend.” Her comedic genius rolls over into creating parody songs as well.
Through her Fave5 songs she shares what she's been up to during quarantine to stay creative and sane, how her mom is so much cooler than she is, learn about what it is like growing up in a biracial family, plus her first love and the songs that allow her to have that "super emo moment" as an adult.
We also get a chance to bond with Anastasia over her love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and how another tv show almost influenced her career choice and that everywhere is a good place to perform (even in the stands at Sea World!)

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
