200
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I've been you know, very solitaire and I I literally

201
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: just got into the studio maybe like two days ago,

202
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: but it's been almost like since quarantine and I haven't

203
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: been able to get in the studio with someone. So

204
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: that's how I've been keeping myself busy. And then randomly

205
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I get on live accidentally really and I'm like, screw it,

206
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do karaoke for everyone. I'm pretty much bored

207
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: or something. But like it feels something like, sorry, guys

208
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: are gonna hear me singing, But everybody you know has

209
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: fun on there. And it's been it's been, like, you know,

210
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: a very interesting few months. But I've been trying to,

211
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, do do the best I can to stay

212
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: motivated and try to inspire people around me through my socially. Yeah,

213
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: you've been killing it with the content, and I think

214
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: for a lot of us, we were introduced to you

215
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: as an actress on Orange Is the New Black. You

216
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: played Flack Out. We love Flack, I love the character,

217
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and then coming to know you as not only just

218
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: an actress, but a singer, a songwriter, a musician. And

219
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: my question is in your personal trajectory before Orange Was

220
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: the New Black Orange Is the New Black? Were you

221
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: a singer first? You're an actress first? What came first?

222
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: The music or the acting? For sure? The music, Um,

223
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: when I was fifth well actually when I was fifteen,

224
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: I moved to California, to the Hollywood. You know, it

225
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: was very you know different, but um, when I saw

226
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston singing in The Bodyguard, it was all dubbed

227
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: in Spanish in the middle of the movie, you know,

228
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: in the d R. And then it came back and

229
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I just saw the finale and I was just like

230
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: mommy in love big screen and She's like, let's see

231
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: if you got what it takes, you know, like six

232
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: or so. And then she like, oh, I got some

233
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: potential girlfriend. And she put me in like like acting

234
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: classes and singing, you know. And then I have to

235
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: say music has always been my my heart and I

236
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: get to play like it's natural for me to like,

237
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, be other characters because I love to be

238
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: goofy and fun. But um, singing is is the true me.

239
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: And and I'm very vulnerable and shys sometimes and it's

240
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: it's but when I myself, I'm more shy, which is silly.

241
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: But I love that I got to open up through

242
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: my album and how the Chavez and I got, you know,

243
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to show people like where I came from

244
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: and who I am and I named every single song

245
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: after the women who raised me. And I wanted people

246
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: to know that that my father's name is Chops, but

247
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: I never used it, and I have the first song

248
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: is dedicated to him. Maybe he understands me through my

249
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: music because personally, like I don't know if we get

250
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: each other. But so singing my Nicolason and then acting

251
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: is just like a plus that I love to do.

252
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: And um and I'll never I'll never quit either one.

253
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you've already brought up like

254
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: being a dog mom relationship with fathers. Like in music,

255
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot to class in too. So I kind

256
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: of want to ask where are your dogs from? Because

257
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: we have a ton of dogs at home, each of us,

258
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: and like our dogs are like from the street or

259
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: from the Humane Society or somebody s I had a

260
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: literal puppies and we got one. And I love the

261
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: origin story of Latino dogs. Dogs. Yeah, like THEA. I

262
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: just had eight puppies and um, I drove from Maryland

263
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: to here because they were so young with with the

264
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: puppy um Priscilla, and so yeah, I know from my

265
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: THEA because you know that wasn't supposed to happen. She like,

266
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna say the word, but you

267
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: know it was inappropriate behavior from her dog. And she

268
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: got eight puppies randomly and all of them are adopted.

269
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: And then this one is from Tijuana and I've had

270
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: her since college, so she's like seventeen or something. That's crazy.

271
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: I live. I love that she doesn't have her paperwork,

272
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: but she's fine. No one asked any questions. That is

273
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: so funny. Um, does anybody like check for for your dogs,

274
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: like any of the like local animal shelters or anything,

275
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: because they come by our house to make sure that

276
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: all of our dogs have licenses. Like, yeah, we won't

277
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: tell anybody. I have another Mexican dog here, Molly. His

278
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: name is Moldiiani. All of my dogs Picasso, I have Moldilani.

279
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: I think they went outside. But because you know my husband,

280
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: he's an artist, and we got our dogs together and

281
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: then um, we broke up for like a year and

282
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: a half and got another time. We're back gethers and

283
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: now I really do have five dogs. It's using. Um,

284
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: so first of all, congratulations, UM, I know that you're

285
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: recently married, so let's talk. You know, if you're comfortable.

286
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that, like marrying another artist. A lot

287
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: of our listeners are you know, in the art community

288
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: as well. You know, dating another artist can get kind

289
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: of hectic sometimes, so you know what, um, you know,

290
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: if you're open to talking about that, that experience of

291
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: marrying another artist, getting married during a pandemic, like, let's

292
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: talk about that. I know, um, well, you know, I

293
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: always wanted something small anyways, so it just made sense.

294
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: I didn't want to wait another year, like and I

295
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, people get engaged and like five years later

296
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: they're still engaged. So I just like I was ready

297
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: ready for you know, like two years ago. So I

298
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: think it was really good that we separated to kind

299
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: of grow into like even me as an art us

300
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: as a musician. That's when like I just sat down

301
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: and wrote and then he just painted and like became

302
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: better and we just grew our you know, not our

303
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: separate ways, but we grew with within our own art.

304
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: It's just different because he's a he's a painter, you know. Um,

305
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: it's a different kind of art. You know, he's not

306
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: you know on TV, you know, so it's just a

307
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: little different. So each other off because I just I

308
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: love his his work, Like everything you see in the

309
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: back um is his his artwork. Uh. I just you know,

310
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like there's a balance

311
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: between us. And he's very intellectual and he makes me

312
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: read all these things that I don't think I would

313
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: ever read if it wasn't because of him. Like I

314
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: know all these painters and you know, like the Bosquiat,

315
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the you know the Picasso and I know the Blue Air,

316
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: like I know everything about them because Fernando we talked

317
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: about it. So it's really cool. I let's see your

318
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: Frieda in the background. So yeah with frieda column too,

319
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: and um yeah so and getting married to the pandemic.

320
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: It was just like twelve people my immediate family and

321
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: his immediate family, swear to God. Because like it was

322
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: a Mexican family meeting a Dominican family. He would think,

323
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, you would think, oh, a loud, but

324
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: my family is more like conservative, like they like to

325
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: like make sure you know they know people before I

326
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: guess they're loud. I don't know. So it was like

327
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: a weird kind of like in Fernando's mom was like,

328
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's you know, like like my big fact

329
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: crazy wedding, but it was great. It was a little

330
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: stressful because Fernando's mom is named Lauda, and during our

331
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: our wedding week, it was like Alaudauda and I was

332
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: so like the whole Weekahaka in Mexico, a beach town,

333
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: it rained the whole week, and so we had that

334
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: drama like I heard it's gonna rain all week. I'm like, no, mom,

335
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: it's not. But we made you know, we made food

336
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: at home, like we got to know each other. There

337
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know, WiFi issues, you know, these nice

338
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: sisters still going to school. But it was like beautiful

339
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: at the end, like the last day was the wedding,

340
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: and it all came together and it was a dream

341
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: come true, like right on the beach, and everything was organic.

342
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: I met the people there, you know, like the musicians,

343
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: I met them there. I met the women who helped

344
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: me plan it there. So it was all local, higher

345
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: and and it was just very intimate and organic and

346
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: not stressful really, only like my little sister stressed me

347
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: up a little bit. WiFi. I love that. That sounds

348
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: like a beautiful experience. We are always talking about wanting

349
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: to go down to Wahaka because we hear it's gorgeous.

350
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Did you absolutely love it? I love wa haaka, like

351
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, like my little my little area over there,

352
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, my skinker. Things get crazy in America, you know,

353
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: so I just I the people are so kind. It

354
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: was just a beautiful community. And like we got married

355
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: and like we walked down the street and took pictures randomly,

356
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: like me barefoot and my silk dressed, and everybody was

357
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: just congratulating us, like we had so much my scal

358
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: like it's insane, and uh, it was beautiful thing. And

359
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: it did rain on my wedding and I had to

360
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: do this beautiful like white god pop. But I'm so

361
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: happy that I did it. And my sister, who's thirteen,

362
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I'm not paying for a anymore.

363
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: If it rains, let people dance in the rain, you know.

364
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Nakida moha, my little sister was. I was like, She's like,

365
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: don't worry, Isabella, get you the goda And I was

366
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: like what you know, so like she got me the guy.

367
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: But and it was actually the most beautiful thing because

368
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: it matched like the wedding. It was very it was

369
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: a white wet so everyone were white and it was

370
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: just beautiful green flowers and it just worked out really pretty.

371
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: And then the next day it was sunny after my wedding.

372
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Of course it happens, so I always because I wanted

373
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: that beautiful view with the sun and all that. So

374
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: it just all ended up working out and I flew out.

375
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: The photographer her name is um Eric Nande and Kanda

376
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: come in. So everyone who worked in my wedding was Latino.

377
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: Just my ps helped me decorate and it was just

378
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: a very family event. And Fernando he drew every menu,

379
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: so the one got to take home a little piece

380
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: of his art. That's extremely beautiful. Wow. And I'm living

381
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: for the Dominican Mexican fusion like I live for it.

382
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: I think we love a fusion. Two excellent culture is

383
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: coming together to be. Um. You know we are at

384
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: the UM I guess the later end of Hispanic Heritage

385
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: Month or Latin X Heritage Month. Um, you know, what

386
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on this month? Like we always say that, Like, Okay,

387
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody's remembering the Latinos, the latin

388
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: X pant there right, they're reaching out. What about when

389
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: the month is over? Right? And so how you know,

390
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Hispanic Heritage Month doesn't help

391
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: put the projects out, you know, like the media and

392
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: everyone is interested in what you know, the Latino community

393
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: is doing. But I do, I do agree with you.

394
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: We should celebrate each other every day. Um. We work

395
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: so hard, and you know, especially being in this in

396
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: this country, we work triple are you know, and just

397
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: to just to make it through the day, you know,

398
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: and you couldn't have a day without us. So it's

399
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of beautiful to celebrate this month. But I

400
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: do agree, it's it's an every day celebrate our stories,

401
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: celebrate everything about us because we bring a lot to

402
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: this country and we yeah, it would be kind of

403
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: black and white if it weren't involved. It's very colorful.

404
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: We're very colorful people. And um and I just yeah,

405
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel good that we get to celebrate it. But

406
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: it's an everyday thing for me at least, because you know,

407
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: we're lett you know, so we celebrate every day. And

408
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, as far as Latinos in media

409
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: and entertainment or concerned, Dominican representation is really on the rise,

410
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: and it is really like on the come up because

411
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: there I feel like was a period of time where

412
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: there really wasn't much at all. And like the other day,

413
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: I just watched you know, Vampires Versus the Bronx on

414
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Netflix and it was so good and I loved it.

415
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: And like we are big fans of the Bodego Boys,

416
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, Do This and Marrow obviously fans of yours.

417
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: You didn't play necessarily a Dominicana and or just the

418
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: New Black, but you know, on TV and doing and

419
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: making movies and doing the thing. And I'm wondering if

420
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: you could just speak on that in what you've observed

421
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: as far as Dominican representation specific Like, yeah, I mean

422
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: that was so brilliant. Uh, the vampires in the Bronx. Um, yeah, though,

423
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: like all that is hilarious. Um I do, I um,

424
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: I do feel like we are up and coming. But again,

425
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: like like like I told you, like well, like you said,

426
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 1: I played you know, Maxicana mostly for for not mostly

427
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: in Oranges and his black. So for me, it's still

428
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: a struggle because, um, they still don't really know, you know,

429
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: what we look like, because we don't all look the

430
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: same and we're just you know, all different colors and

431
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: sizes and and even if I auditioned for the mikana.

432
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't even get it because they say I

433
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: don't look enough this enough that I'm like, so it's

434
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a struggle. I can't tell you that.

435
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: The doors are like so open and they're flying and

436
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting all these roles. I've actually everything I've done recently,

437
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I've played a dominion in in anything.

438
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Oh my recent short work Rosa

439
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: that just one Black Star Fest and Woodstock I did.

440
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: I made sure that she was Dominican, and I you know,

441
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: I talked, I get to talk in Spanish and I

442
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: made sure that that was my accent. And so yeah,

443
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I believe that for me. Right now, I'm opening my

444
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: own doors. I'm auditioning for everything. But everything I have

445
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: booked is just you know, a wife. Everything is is

446
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: just a woman. It's it's not really a Dominican woman,

447
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: you know. So um, yeah, the struggle is real and

448
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: the doors are opening up. But again, even even in

449
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: even in my own country like Gana, like you know,

450
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: like it's just like, ah, where do I fit in?

451
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: You know, so I didn't got yucky, you know, like

452
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: they're confused you look all these different things, and I'm like,

453
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: we are America's future, you know what I mean. We are,

454
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: you know, become biracial. We come from all different you know,

455
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: and some have more than others. And because you know,

456
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: everyone always says a little but that's not true either,

457
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 1: because I live in Santiago and we all are you know,

458
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: we go from A to Z. So, um, representation is

459
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: a little difficult right now, and when it comes to

460
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: being Dominican. But I'm not gonna sit here and complain

461
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: about it. I'm just going to create my own opportunities.

462
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: And that's what I've been doing. I've been working on

463
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: a TV show that um hopefully you know, I can't

464
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: really talk about it yet, but you know, I've been

465
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: pitching to TV shows at one one specifically, and the

466
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: other one I'm I'm hopefully going to pitch uh soon.

467
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just me bringing my people also and

468
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: showing us that we all look different and we have

469
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 1: different dialects and and I do love the fusion of

470
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: Mexican and Dominican because that's going on a lot here

471
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: in l A. Finally, you know, there's a lot of

472
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: Dominicans coming up, you know, even in um the show

473
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: uh gentrifiedfid Hentified Yea, Julius took out that on exactly,

474
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: so that really but they didn't make I don't know

475
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: if she's Dominican on the show. She is. She plays

476
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: a Dominican character on the show. We interviewed her on

477
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: look At about her role as yes Nica on Hnified,

478
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: and they actually wrote her in. Originally the character wasn't

479
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: a Dominican character that she was auditioning for, but after

480
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: she auditioned, they were like, let's change up the storyline

481
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: and let's make her a Dominicana who moves to l

482
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: A And it's like, now here in this community, Yeah,

483
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. I didn't get to watch the last season,

484
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: but I do. I do love that. I love that

485
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: they're open to maybe, you know, liking someone and try

486
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: and change this because it's half we're living it, so

487
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: we deserve that representation. And I told you I moved

488
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: here when I was fifteen and they didn't know what

489
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: to do with me. She's like, you know, I have long,

490
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: curly hair, I'm brown, and um, I speak fluent Spanish,

491
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: but I don't look Mexican. You know, when I first

492
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: moved here and I actually quit acting and I focused

493
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: on my music. I was in a girl group working

494
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: under like the Black Eyed Peas, and then I moved

495
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: to Miami, then Miami to New York and then and

496
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: I said, hey, after sitting year, I said, maybe New

497
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Yorker and let me give this a try because I

498
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: see my people here. You know, there was in the

499
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: hips there was all this like Dominicans and I was like,

500
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, here Dominican. I was so impressed by

501
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: anyone Dominican in Hollywood. And at the time, I think

502
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: I just met Daniel Ramidez when I was fifteen, and

503
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: she yeah, and she was in Fat Albert and I

504
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: was like, I want to be an actress too, and she,

505
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, she's like you could do with girl. You know,

506
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: I inspired me, But that was like the only one

507
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: that you know, was was really working. So I tried

508
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: it out in New York and and Oranges the New

509
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Black was my first audition after I quit for six years,

510
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: and I was just working on music because I have

511
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: an EP out in two thousand and ten, and I

512
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: booked Orange in two thousand and twelve. And I would

513
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: love for you to talk about any advice you might

514
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: have for folks listening who have their own aspirations of

515
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: going into the arts and entertainment professionally. I think, especially

516
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: in Latin X Latino communities, we are sort of prepped

517
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: to go to college or become professionals and try and

518
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: find a secure career, and we're not necessarily encouraged to

519
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: go into the arts, to go into acting. It's not

520
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: a huge thing for us in our youth. So what

521
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: would you advise to those who are artists themselves but

522
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: not sure how to get started. I see, you know,

523
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: you gotta follow your heart. Literally, I was waitressing for

524
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: ten years and you know, working like the night shift.

525
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: I actually worked Season one, two and three as a waitress,

526
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, and I was recognizable, but I was seeing

527
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: and I did get extra tip, you know, I was

528
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, second lu I was like, of course I'm black.

529
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, can I get a picture with you?

530
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yes, and um they would do pictures.

531
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: She's like, okay, I'm gonna need that sugar free red

532
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: Bull and vodka please. I was like, I got you, girl,

533
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: and like it was just beautiful because I felt, you know,

534
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved going to work. I love

535
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: that people recognize the show. I love you know, uh

536
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: that I you know that that door opened for me.

537
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: But it was a struggle. It was a struggle through

538
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: my family. Like my father, he wasn't really excited because

539
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: I didn't finish college, you know, my Diaz. They were like,

540
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're getting a little older. But if I

541
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: could tell you anything, never put a time limit on

542
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: your dream. And it's gonna come when when, when it's

543
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: ready for you. And while you're waiting, work on your

544
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: craft because every day, if you think about it, if

545
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: God put that passion in your heart, why wouldn't you

546
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: do that? You know, why would you Why would you

547
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: work doing something that you really don't like? So you know,

548
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hard. I mean I was homeless at

549
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: one point, you know, I I really I went from zero,

550
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, I started from I went from zero. Then

551
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: I got back to zero, and I got back to zero.

552
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: And all my failures are the reason that I'm here today.

553
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: And I could share my story because my my my

554
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: journey was was you know, very very hard to get

555
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: to where I'm at. But I don't regret, and I

556
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: love that I did have to work so hard because

557
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: someone that is looking at me now saying like, yo,

558
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, she actually did it and she went through this,

559
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: She went through that, She went through this, and I'm

560
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: going through this, and you know, maybe you need that.

561
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: You need that because you know that helps me with

562
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: my writing, That helps me with my acting. The pain,

563
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, the pain does help. You know, even as

564
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: Fernando and artists like U, people use that pain and

565
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: make art from it, whether it's music, whether it's painting,

566
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, bringing those feelings to your acting.

567
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: So just don't give up, and you believe in you.

568
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. When you believe in yourself

569
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: and you are yourself, not trying to be someone else.

570
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: Because you see all the music out there were all

571
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: the actors and trying to look like them and trying

572
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: to be like them. No, no one's gonna be like

573
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, one's gonna look like you. And that's what's

574
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna that's where you're gonna shine when you're yourself. And

575
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: I learned that through my music really when I found

576
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: me with my song at Least sixteen. That is such

577
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: such beautiful advice. Thank you so much for offering all

578
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: of that the word words of wisdom that you just

579
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, spoke about, you know, when you were starting,

580
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: when you were when Orange and You Black was really

581
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: taking off. I feel like that was one of the

582
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: first Netflix original series, right, And so we've parts and

583
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: Oranges and Black. Yeah, right, And so you know now

584
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: we see like all these Netflix originals, um, and they're

585
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: what we talked about on the podcast is that there's

586
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: somewhat of a cultural disconnect up with our families and

587
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: we can accomplish all these really amazing, fantastic things and

588
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: our families may not necessarily get it. And so did

589
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: you experience that with your family when you were you

590
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: know on this hit Netflix series. Did they understand what

591
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: Netflix was at the time, and like the power of it? Girl,

592
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: my cousin, one of them, I don't say names, she

593
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: was like, what is this a web series? I'm gonna

594
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a DVD like sent to my house. Like, girl,

595
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think you should like look into

596
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: doing other the things. And I was like what And

597
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: like even my job, the manager at my job, nobody

598
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: was like impressed by Netflix at the time, you know

599
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: what I mean? And literally we had we started binge watching,

600
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like one of the godmothers

601
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: of Netflix because we I just I feel like, yeah,

602
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: there was a big disconnect. But my mom was always proud.

603
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: Just she's the one person that never gave up on me,

604
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: and she's like, especially you know, after my car accident,

605
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: she was just like, oh, you need to make it

606
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: more than ever now, Jackie, because you're not supposed to

607
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: be here. God gave you another chance, and why wouldn't

608
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: it be to live your dream and share your story

609
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: and inspire others. So yeah, I you know, that's you know,

610
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: that's it. Like Netflix has become this monster, like in

611
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: a good, good month Conster, and it's kind of beautiful

612
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: to be that show that kicked off like such an

613
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: amazing you know, streaming for for everyone because now then

614
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: Hulu copied and Amazon and all these people, like we're like, oh,

615
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: these these people are into something, and uh yeah, it's

616
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: really it's really cool to be a part of that

617
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: massive um beginning. And also, you know Netflix, like Ted

618
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: Serrando's like we can calm him any any day. He'll

619
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: write us to eat lunch at his house, and he's

620
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: he like the head of Netflix, you know what I mean.

621
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: So it feels good to have that that family is

622
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: still there for us. And when I have projects, hopefully

623
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: I can you know, bring it to them and you

624
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: know we'll see. I mean, Netflix is always going to

625
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: have that special you know, place in my heart because

626
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: it opened the doors for a lot of us, and

627
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: it was groundbreaking. I don't think till this day we

628
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: have a show like Oranges into Black, So I feel

629
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: like we need to go back to that, you know,

630
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: to the beginning and and and show the world these

631
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: incredible women's stories and and I five five Dominicans in

632
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: one show. I mean, I think I want to see

633
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: more of that. Truly groundbreaking. Um it was, and that

634
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: the show, like you said, that launched this an entire

635
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: cultural shift into the way that we watch TV, like

636
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: the Binge Model, right, And it was launched because of

637
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: this show that was about women of color, Like that

638
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: is what caught everybody's attention to the extent that they

639
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: could not get enough, like they had to watch more.

640
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's super cool. I I just feel

641
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: so blessed that, um that that was my open door.

642
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: And I made it. I made I made I made

643
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: it through that door being Latina. Yes, I was mad

644
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: he got up, but I was there with my girls,

645
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And like a lot of

646
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: us in the in this industry, who do who do

647
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: look unique and different like you know, let's say it's

648
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: always Sandana or whatever, you know, like Rosario Dawson, like

649
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: it was, it's hard to break into the industry being

650
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: who you are, you know, because they never seen anyone

651
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,799

652
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: amazing to be known for for being Latina and being

653
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,640
