Talking While Female & Other Dangerous Acts
Talking While Female & Other Dangerous Acts is a brand new Audible Original created by Teatro Luna that features 25 storytellers and their original stories from Latinas across the United States with the overarching themes of RISK & RESILIENCE. Primarily in English with some Spanish sprinkled throughout, each of the six chapters launch with a poem by Gabriela Ortega and every story has an original soundscape creating with original music by Maria Chavez. {Insert sentence about your story, or what telling your story has meant to you } We made this collection to try to give voice to those who feel unseen, and for all of us who need to be reminded to just keep going.

In September and October 2018 my short film Zohra screened in NYC and Coachella at the Official Latino Film Festival where we were nominated for best comedy and best actress awards.
