Citizen Dame began as a podcast in 2017. It was founded by writers Kristen Lopez, Karen Peterson, Lauren Humphries-Brooks, and Kimberly Pierce.

What started as a platform for women to discuss the good, bad, and heinous in Hollywood eventually became a place for women to celebrate the spectrum of film. From the silent era to today, each week we talk about films and the people who make them.

Although Kristen and Kimberly departed to pursue other opportunities, Citizen Dame is still going strong in the hands of Karen and Lauren.

Our website seeks to further the conversation in ways we can’t always explore on the show. With movie reviews, interviews, and editorials, today Citizen Dame provides an outlet to discuss film through a feminist lens.
