Shameless Plug: A proud mom of three, she grew up in Arizona and now runs things in Highland Park, Michigan, where she’s basically the community’s unofficial showrunner — think Oprah meets Olivia Pope, but with better playlists and fewer binders. From January to December, she produces city events ranging from A to Z like it’s a Marvel release schedule. When she’s not curating vibes, she’s learning electric guitar picture AC/DC “shook me all night long” (future rock-mom era loading…), speaking multiple languages, and playing with food like it’s a Food Network challenge — because creativity tastes better and cost more. She’s traveled across the U.S., collecting stories like Pokémon, and ever since she was a little girl dreaming of being a talk show host, she knew the mic was her destiny, bars! Now, as co-host of Pizza ’n’ Popcorn, she helps serve up a space where people can share their stories — no scripts – well maybe, extra cheese, buttered popcorn, and all feelings welcomed… mama’s home.
Pantry
Welcome to the Pantry area of the Pizza ’n’ Popcorn – a popcast blog, where the guest list hits like movie night featuring the Avengers: Endgame—but instead of hammers and shields they come with slices, snacks, and zero pretentious energy. Where thought leaders, healers, creators, and full-on main characters pull up and put their integrity (and a little pride) on the line. We get to see who or what survives while we dig through an endless bucket of freshly popped kettle corn. Think Hot Slice chaos, Late Night & Early Morning laughs, and the kind of conversations you’d have at 1 a.m. when the pizza box is empty but the popcorn bowl somehow isn’t and who the hell left pizza grease on the mic?
We’re popcasting up comedy, satire, and the occasional truth bomb, because life’s too short not to laugh at it. Our guests aren’t here to flex résumés but maybe embellish their latest Game of Thrones late night sequel, we will be rewriting origin stories, villain arcs, and Shakespearean monologues while being refreshingly unfiltered along the way. So grab your snack-sized escape into the ridiculous and the relatable, bring your appetite for nonsense and your sense of humor, and enjoy the show. Extra cheese and sarcasm served hot and ready. Batteries not included.
