Chrissa Sparkles.  You may have seen Chrissa Sparkles go viral with her Barbie inspired content on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrissasparkles/">@chrissasparkles</a>. In this conversation we go through Chrissa&#8217;s journey as a local kid with no connections figuring out how to maneuver through auditions and the industry.
