Fam, it’s no secret America’s in a scary place right now. Especially for communities of color. And as DEI programs are expelled….Black, Queer and other histories are erased…and law abiding citizens and residents are deported…it would be easy for diverse storytellers to give up without anyone questioning why. I can’t lie. As a Black woman, I’ve been feeling this anxiety for a while now. But then I met writing partners, Eddie and Miguel. Both proud Chicanos and dedicated family men, not only did they give me a boost of hope, but they also educated and inspired me as they opened up about…
- The unspoken cost of assimilation
- How they trust and challenge each other to push through imposter syndrome
- And why they’re committed to telling unapologetic stories that represent their community
Experience Eddie and Miguel sharing from their POVs as first and second Gen Chicano-Americans, Fam. I guarantee after you enjoy our conversation and their work-n-progress, you’ll be fired up to finish your own unapologetic story. You’ll know more about the art of TV writing with a partner. And you’ll realize that Doechii ain’t the only one overcoming anxiety.
