In this episode, I speak with Crystal, the founder and CEO of the Black Latina Movement, a grassroots theater and film production company established in New York City in 2008. With a unique blend of business acumen and dramatic flair, Crystal is redefining the narratives for Black and Latina women, and the impact is nothing short of revolutionary.

Crystal’s journey into activism was sparked by a deeply personal experience—motherhood. Determined to improve media representation for marginalized communities, she embarked on a mission to challenge stereotypes and showcase the rich tapestry of womanhood. Her productions delve into the complexities of identity, with her play “Black Latina” shedding light on the often-overlooked experiences of Black Latinos and Afro-Latinos.

Key Takeaways:

• Why Crystal started her company and the importance of representation. 
• Expressing pride in being a mompreneur, Crystal values collaborative opportunities and appreciates the flourishing results of personal dedication.
• Crystal encourages Christian entrepreneurs to align their hearts with God, accept individual journeys, and avoid distractions.

In 2008, she founded The Black Latina Movement, a platform aimed at broadening representation in the arts, particularly for women of color. Her work highlights the diversity and complexities of women, offering audiences stories that provide both relief and a deeper understanding of the human experience amidst life's challenges.
