Once upon a time I was just a little Black Mexican girl with crooked teeth and itchy skin who wanted to be a singer. Over time and with the help of an amazing choir teacher I discovered the magic of musical theater. The moment I stepped on that cafetorium stage I knew: acting was my calling.

Now one could argue that playing a cow who couldn’t moo isn’t peak storytelling, I say its an unforgettable character that makes for hilarious exposition in the story of The Anna Maria Morris.

Now, I’m originally from Houston, TX and I was raised in Third Ward my entire my life. And while I was totally one of those creative kids interested in every hobby I could get my hands on, storytelling has always my first love. I consider myself to be a multi-hyphenate because I sing, dance, act, model, write, and organize. I’m someone who values artistic integrity and hopes to use my art to change the world.

I recently took a huge leap of faith and moved from Texas to California to pursue my career goals at a larger scale. I’m currently based in Los Angeles as a freelance artist.

Leaving behind my friends and family in the south to pursue my art full time is easily one of the scariest things I’ve done in my 20s but I’ve read enough Brené Brown to know it takes courage to do what I’m doing.

And I mean, I owe it to my ancestors to break as many generational curses as I can.
