Resilience and Activism: Stories of Successful Latinas in Hollywood with Andrea Navedo and Patricia Rae

What is it like to succeed as a Latina in Hollywood?

In today's episode, a little over a month after the actors' strike ended, we revisit my conversations with Andrea Navedo and Patricia Rae. Andrea Navedo is an Award-winning Actress, Director, Keynote Speaker, and Author of the book "Our Otherness Is Our Strength: Wisdom from the Boogie Down Bronx." Patricia Rae is a professional Actress, Podcaster, and Producer with over 35 years of experience. She is known for her role in "Mary Full of Grace," "The Big Wedding," with Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, Diane Keaton, and Susan Sarandon, and her role as Judge Delgado in the TV Series, "All Rise."

In my conversation with Andrea, the star from "Jane The Virgin" talked about her experiences as a Latina in New York, healing from abuse, how to become captains of our own ship, and why we, as Latinas, tend to second-guess and hold ourselves back. Patricia, on the other hand, talked about society's polarization, how she uses her platform to address and fight against social injustice, and her thoughts on the reasons behind the actors's strike that recently ended.
