Our Emmy award winning project {THE AND} creates the space for transformative conversations and deeper human connection.
Nelson and his 7-year-old son, Nelson Jr., share a bond that radiates warmth, laughter, and deep connection. Their relationship is a heartwarming example of what true friendship between a father and son can look like: full of playful wit, emotional honesty, and mutual admiration.
Donna (she/her) and Darrell (he/him) are mother and son. Their relationship has been shaped by grief, personal growth, and an unconditional love that reaches beyond this lifetime. Sharing a name with Donna’s late brother, Darrell carries both a legacy and a quiet pressure to live up to something sacred.
Jordan (she/her) and John (he/him) have been together for 10 years. Their love story began with two people crushing on each other—without either of them knowing it. Over time, their bond deepened, and when Jordan was diagnosed with cancer, their relationship transformed in profound ways.
For three years, Nadiya (she/her) and Anthony (he/him) have shared a special connection. This conversation offers a glimpse into what love at first sight can be – the way they look and listen speaks volumes about their admiration for each other.

Getting Under The Skin
Join Topaz Adizes on exploratory conversations with extraordinary people. Not because they’re famous or successful, but because life has taught them something deep. Something hard-earned. Something true.
Aaron Lazar is a celebrated Broadway actor, a father, a fighter, and a man in the middle of radical personal transformation. Diagnosed with ALS, Aaron now finds himself walking a path that demands more than physical strength — it calls for spiritual clarity, emotional courage, and a new kind of presence.
Lauren Celenza is a designer, technologist, writer, and deeply curious human navigating the complex intersections of connection, technology, and imbalance. From redesigning Google Maps for informal transit systems across the Global South to building the first free direct IRS tax-filing tool in U.S. history, Lauren’s work is all about making the invisible visible — and helping people find their way.
In this episode of Getting Under the Skin, Topaz sits down with artist and filmmaker Tracey Arcabasso Smith (she/her), whose documentary Relative explores the generational trauma of sexual abuse in her family, and the healing that followed.
