Amiga, Handle Your Shit

Hollywood, Activism, and Authenticity: A Look into Patricia Rae's Journey


Listen Later

Often, creators might get angry and resentful because they feel no one is watching or listening despite the love, time, and effort they put into their craft. Ironically, forgetting about the numbers and focusing on being authentic and sharing their story will make people connect with them, with their content, and grow an organic and genuine audience. 


In this episode, the amazing Patricia Rae joins us to talk about her experience finding a safe space to let her true self out, Hollywood's actors strike, pushing herself out of her comfort zone and starting a podcast, and more. Patricia is a professional actress and producer with over 35 years of experience. She is mainly known for her role in "Mary Full of Grace," "The Big Wedding," with Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, Diane Keaton, and Susan Sarandon, and her role as Judge Delgado in the TV Series, "All Rise." 


The daughter of Colombian immigrants, Patricia was born and raised in New York in the '60s, a melting pot where diverse and contrasting cultures surrounded her. That particular upbringing forged her as an outspoken activist for racial and gender equality, committed to making Latinos visible in a positive light in movies and TV. 


Throughout our conversation, you'll hear about Patricia's upbringing, her thoughts on the actors' strike, streaming services and residual payments, and some producers' intent to use AI to replace writers and actors. Patricia also talks about "Believe This," the podcast she co-hosts alongside Chris Crimm, her battle for a safe space to express herself authentically, and much more.
