- I'm just so tired of the sexualization of the Latina women. We have so much to give, our story is so much more than skin and cleavage.
- I want to see on the screen stories that I witness on a daily basis: juggling multiple jobs, school work, and family. Stories of success, deception, friendship, failure and the ability to continue when most people want to give up. I want to watch and feel inspired by those stories, so I am going to write and film them.
