Taking the Stage: Pursuing Non Traditional Life Goals and Making a Difference Along the Way with Kim Heil

Today’s guest is Kim Heil. She is a mother of two and an
Associate Producer & Casting Director at the San Diego
Repertory Theatre. In today’s episode, we talk about her pursuit
of a career in the performing arts that was outside of the
traditional expectations. She talks about how her father
encouraged her to step into her passion and how she uses her role
as a woman of color in championing equity in the performing arts
space. 


Kim Had so many nuggets to share in this interview I love how she
talked about unpacking how she had been  colonized and how
she values the importance of affinity spaces. We shared how
representation in media and the arts can look and feel different
to each person.  And she shared how, as a mom, she now has a
360 perspective on the gift encouragement  her father gave
her. Finally, we learned so many tips and tricks of how the
theater space works towards equity in this day and age.
