Director Statement

"I've always been driven to bring strong, fearless women of color to the screen. With La Santeria, I wanted to push the boundaries of portrayal by reimagining the classic, beautiful Latina character with a dark twist. Rather than leaning on stereotypes, I aimed to make her complex, powerful, and so much more than her appearance."
