  Olivia Gatwood — Writing About Girlhood, Rage, & Women Friendship

  Sep 2, 20261h 1mS3

  Poet and novelist Olivia Gatwood joins Sparkle On to trace her journey from writing spy stories as a kid to becoming an internationally recognized voice on girlhood, queerness, and the complexities of women friendships. Olivia reveals how she transformed rage into advocacy, and eventually into stories that center joy, vulnerability, and the messy humanity of women's relationships with each other. She unpacks the creation of her debut novel, Whoever You Are, Honey, a fembot story set in Santa Cruz that interrogates internalized misogyny, the fear of intimacy between women, and what it means to be created from the male gaze. Olivia walks us through her writing process, the danger of trauma bonding, and why she believes resilience isn't about staying in pain but about returning to difficult subjects from a place of strength. Stay on the lookout for the upcoming film adaptation of Olivia’s novel with Margot Robbie's Lucky Chap, and be sure to order a copy of her book!

  Spencer Paysinger — From NFL to Hollywood, and Writing All American (REPLAY)

  Aug 27, 202654 minS3

  From winning Super Bowl 46 with the New York Giants to co-producing the CW's hit series All American, Spencer Paysinger shares how community, identity, and storytelling became the foundation of everything he's built. This conversation explores how Spencer discovered screenwriting as therapy during his NFL career, spending every Tuesday off-day in movie theaters studying story structure before he even knew what it was called. He unpacks the creation of All American, and how he's had to reconcile watching a fictionalized version of his own life rewrite his personal history. Spencer reveals the universal truth that sold the show: the importance of teaching the next generation that ownership, creativity, and self-definition are acts of power. Spencer proves that your Sparkle isn't just one thing; it's everything you choose to pour yourself into.
