Leah Powell: "I started SparkleSkirts innocently enough in 2008 when I whipped up some sparkly skirts for my running group to wear at the inaugural Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World.
In that race—and every race since—people have asked “Where did you get those skirts?” That’s when my passion for both creativity and fitness shifted into high gear!
Professionally, I have worked as a graphic designer and illustrator, muralist and trompe l’oeil artist, and as a maternity fashion designer. After recognizing the need in the market for comfortable, efficient and FUN athletic wear, my husband and I invested our life savings into SparkleSkirts.
I just knew that if I had such an issue with my cricket thighs and lack of places to carry my running gear, others might have the same complaints!
After decades of teaching fitness classes, I took on my first full marathon at the age of 55 (prompted by a 64-year-old friend), so I know what it’s like to work hard for a goal.
I believe that everyone out there exercising—whether they move like a penguin, a cheetah, or something in between—should be celebrated and honored for their achievements." |
