Stephanie 'Sparkle' Edwards

Stephanie 'Sparkle' Edwards, a beautiful multi-talented singer, model, actress career was interrupted due to a 20+ year battle of fighting for a niece and other black girls & women who encountered sexual abuse. Now, Sparkle has been properly vindicated and is widely recognized as a (s)hero of epic proportions! Sparkle's fight against the music industry's titan hit-maker, attributed her some substantial losses in career and family ties. Despite these immeasurable losses, Sparkle's outlook on life is a far more optimistic after criminal charges were brought against (Robert) Kelly; Including those directly associated to her niece, leading to a federal conviction in September 2021. As the first person and documented celebrity voice to speak out against Kelly without compromise, Sparkle witnessed an appropriate ending to her life sacrifices. After her appearance in A&E/Lifetime's 'Surviving R. Kelly' documentary, the world accredits Sparkle as a foundation that help lead to a Kelly conviction. Both mainstream media and Dream Hampton, the executive producer and show-runner of documentary have echoed these sentiments. Sparkle, a platinum selling recording artist was introduced to the world musically by way of her self titled project 'Sparkle'. The first single 'Be Careful' from the project, was #1 on Billboard for six consecutive weeks featured R. Kelly. The disgraced ex-mentor is the reason the world knows Sparkle musically and is now the reason the world knows her strength, passion and endurance in advocating for black girls (and women). Be certain, the next time Sparkle speaks on anything.. The world will likely pay better attention to it.
