The Duke TIP Podcast Episode 2: Skyla Woodard and April Bonds

Click here to listen!

On the second episode of The Duke TIP Podcast, Tracy and Katy talk with Skyla Woodard and her mom, April Bonds. Skyla is a very talented 10-year-old TIPster/actor/singer. This summer, she’ll be on an episode of the AMC television show “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” she’ll star as Mary Lennox in Raleigh Theatre’s production of The Secret Garden, and she’ll attend Duke TIP’s CRISIS program. April tells us all about raising an academically talented child as a single mom, Skyla describes her luxury trailer on the set of “TURN,” and Katy debriefs us on her t-shirt selling performance at TIP’s Grand Recognition Ceremony. Other topics of discussion: rambunctious puppies, digging for sand crabs, meditation, and being an “on-purpose” parent.
