The Voice Behind the Anthem — Healing Through Music Featuring Myra Washington

This week we sit down with Myra Washington, the soulful artist behind the show’s theme song — created in collaboration with the legendary Bootsy Collins. Inspired by Patti’s survival story, “Is Anybody Out There?” has become more than a song — it’s an anthem of hope for women who feel unheard, unseen, or alone in their journey through domestic violence. Although Myra has not personally experienced abuse, she has devoted herself to using her voice as a form of advocacy, healing, and truth. She shares why she believes music can open hearts, spark awareness, and push conversations forward — especially in communities where silence has been the norm for far too long. Together, they explore how art can become a lifeline, how sound can restore the spirit, and why it matters when artists take a stand for survivors. You’ll also hear the story behind the song, how Bootsy Collins became involved, and the deeper message they hope listeners carry with them. If you are a survivor, a supporter, or someone who believes in the power of purpose-driven art — this episode is your reminder that healing can come from unexpected places… and that you are never alone.   Myra Washington: https://www.facebook.com/shesingsanddj/ https://www.instagram.com/shesingsanddj?igsh=ZjBkZHhxbGo2YmR4   “Is Anybody Out There?” is a powerful and heartfelt podcast co-hosted by Patti Collins and Andrea Langefield, empowered by Women Helping Women.
