Background
I am a gay , disabled , plus size indigenous and Latinx model , and actress . I got into horror at an early age because my family were brujas , we lived in a former funeral home , and horror movies were always in abundance . I was obsessed with all things spooky . That obsession has only grown . Once I became an adult , I wanted to be as close to my favourite genre as possible , so to me , that meant getting into acting . I knew it didn ' t matter if I had any lines or not beause that wasn ' t the point . The point was to be part of something magic .

There is so much bad in the world , and it feels hopeless at times . I think a lot of people are so overwhelmed by it , that they think they can ' t make a difference , and so they either don ' t try to fight it , or they become part of the darkness . I want to do the opposite . I want to make things better having existed in this world . I think that is the meaning of life . To have done something to make the world a little bit better just by having you in it , then not having you at all .
I want to help make things more accessible . I want to help fight for a positive change . LGBTQA + rights , disability rights , fat liberation , intersectional feminism , income inequality , etc .
Dealing with criticism

Think of it this way . . . people who hate you because of your size , race , ethnicity , disability , orientation , etc , have a certain weakness . Their hatred is like an addiction . It is some allconsuming force infiltrates every aspect of their life . Some go so far as to seek us out , follow our social media , search our hashtags , check our friends list , create special groups and forums , go to certain websites , and obsess about us , and how much they hate us . They talk to others like them , seeking
