Who are the women behind The Sparkle up Podcast?

We are artists with a deep, and abiding commitment to celebrate the accomplishments of other women!!

Kim is a Professor of English, an accomplished playwright, and Young Adult (YA) author. Maria is an Emmy-award winning filmmaker. Through our podcast we share anecdotes from our experiences, and also find humor in our sometimes different generational perspectives! Most importantly, we talk about topics that help women become better, stronger, and more effective versions of themselves! Speaking with our guests about all the wonderful things they are doing to help make their corner of the world a better and more equitable place!

This podcast has been a long time coming, and we are excited to share this amazing journey with you all! Welcome to the SUP family. Let’s raise a toast to all the women who unapologetically have the courage to share themselves with the world and with us!
