Okay, my title is a little misleading because I want to share with you all a little bit about just one of the things that makes me happy: acting. As a kid, I knew that I wanted to be an actress but at the time I thought of it more as being a movie-star. To me, it was so cool that people just became characters and were party of an amazing story and because of that story they were famous. As I grew older, I continued to wish for any opportunity to act. I didn’t get any. I would search online for agencies but everything cost money that my family and I didn’t have. In high school, I had to choose between going to a high school that focused on going to college and a high school that focused on the arts. Because I was unsure about my future, I chose the high school that emphasized attending college. After having no opportunities in high school I tried to join some clubs at UCLA to finally practice my dream of acting, but the pandemic cut that short and I wasn’t able to join the organization that I had long waited for: the Latinx Film & Theater Association. Now that I’m in my third-year I’ve finally joined this amazing org and have discovered everything that goes into film and theater production. This org was revived by me and all the other members who joined this year, saving it from being less than 10 people in the org. We have learned so much together, made many amazing memories, and created art that showcases our values and everything that we love: bringing a story to life trying to center Latine students into spaces in which they have long been excluded and/or misrepresented from. I hope to participate more as an actress next year for LFTA, as this year I had a lot of commitments that interrupted me from doing what makes me happy, but just knowing I have this space is keeping me excited and working hard. I can’t wait to see the amazing things LFTA does next year, and I can’t wait to be a part of it. <3
