Being Latina in the US is something I'm learning about everyday. I don't feel inherently different in any way from anybody else and it is a feeling I cherish and that has helped me avoid thinking of my ethnicity as a potential obstacle from what I want to achieve.

In many points in history films and filmmakers have been banned for political reasons- that's how annoying they can be to oppressing systems, how dangerous.

Growing up, my Mexican town of Monterrey was so safe, we wouldn't lock our cars or our front doors, and that is gone.

My parents are big liberals and taught us to never trust a government that rids their people of basic human rights.

Though Autism can be frightening and terribly demanding, it also comes with its vast share of superpowers that are unknown to the typical human.

Its a wonderful feeling to be able to inspire back, to keep that flow going.

Maybe I'm the badass lady who rids Mexico of drugs, of oppression and illiteracy.
