Kymberly Williams-Evans, MA

I have been helping people get an active

message out via land, sea, and airwaves

for 3 decades, on 4 continents, in 4

languages. My twin sister and I present,

write, edit, and broadcast our fitness and

writing programs worldwide. Former

faculty at UCSB in both the English and

Sports Studies Depts, I enjoy bringing

you social media scoop with energy and

fun words so you can age as actively as

possible and be a Boom Chicka Boomer!
