I love stories of Latin creatives who are telling the stories of our community and getting heard and seen. My friend Patricia is an amazing example of this. I met her at SXSW where one of her most recent films was shown, and I knew I needed her to come on the show.

This daring, vivid and non-conforming Canadian-Latina director, writer, producer, editor and acting coach has created over 50 hours of content and garnered over 60 awards in her 20-year career.
