I started as an actor and I was doing work as an actor and then because of my budding lesbianism… I landed in Nueva York… but that wasn’t a scene for me cuz like I was a Chicana, Tejana. I got a lot of “¿Pero que tu eres, Colombiana?” and they just looked at me like “You’re this foreign it.” I loved that time because I got exposed to Dominicanos, B...
I knew being there that NY was not going to work for me and at the time, I was in my early twenties, I realized how much I had been shaped by Tejas. It’s like expansive cielo.

There’s a long history with it. Precisely because it does come from the semilla of embodied knowing of violence within a household. It’s essentially looking at this young queer chicana protagonist, trying to understand how domestic violence in her household is being replayed in her adult life. Yoli’s addiction is mujeres. And whether queer or not w...

We’re still working at a political spectrum where the white writer, the one that has been historically given the priv...
As POC and women we are always expected to fall into the passive role and to follow that. It’s like lets get our normative protagonist and let’s go on his journey. And we’re supposed to relate and quite often we do but the inverse isn’t true because historically and politically speaking our stories haven’t been given the space to be out in the worl...
It comes back to it needs to be medicine for us and sometimes the medicine is bitter, sometimes the medicine is candy coated. And it feels good, but if I only have so many days on this planet, if I’m just one artist who’s trying to work in this very specific framework then I want my work to matter. I really want to create films that we’re going to ...
