00:00when i was younger i kind of was thrown into it in a way not not really um my parents
00:06were like
00:06not stage parents at all but i started working because the owner of my um dance studio worked
00:15with univision they were like oh we need like a little girl to do soap operas like bienes telenovelas
00:21so all the little girls like and i just had this insane confidence like i was like oh i can
00:26do this
00:26like i'm the girl like i'm a star like were you kidding me and i just i think that i
00:32got ahead at
00:33that age because i was so confident and then as an adult i was like oh this is like not
00:38what i thought
00:39it was like this is actually really difficult and there's so many people doing this and um i'm
00:45actually really aware of all the things i need to learn and keep working at so i think that as
00:50an
00:50adult i think it's harder to keep that confidence in yourself and your abilities and in in what
00:56has what's like your like thing like what's like your personality that you can bring um to the
01:02industry that's different from other people i moved to la when i was 19 i like packed up my car
01:07and like just moved by myself i found some girls on facebook and i was like can i live with
01:13you i don't
01:13know and i just felt so like i have no idea what i'm doing but i kind of had to
01:19fake it you know and
01:20like especially having hispanic parents it was like no i got this mommy like it's gonna be fine
01:26and i would go into acting classes or oh my god those acting classes that was so those were painful
01:32watches if you would have seen me as like a new person there being latina was like i don't know
01:37it's like it's just normal like oh los colombianos las venezolanas whatever and it's like i think that
01:43i i i grew up feeling very proud being venezuelan and and that whole culture and what that and i
01:50think it really comes out in the way i speak the way i express myself and as i've gotten older
01:56i've
01:57realized that that's what people like about me and they'll they'll express that to me like oh my god
02:02i love how you talk i love how you do this and that and so even though it can be
02:07hard to hang on to
02:09that sometimes i think that i've been very encouraged i've been really lucky actually to
02:13be really encouraged to hang on to that my whole life really
