Johanna Kepler was born in Guatemala City. She was adopted by two white lesbian mothers and raised in a half Jewish household. Johanna also has a little sister who is adopted from Guatemala as well. As an immigrant and Latina woman, her main focus in all of the work that she does is combining her passion for the performing arts with her social justice advocacy work, specifically immigration reform. She constantly works to diversify and reimagine the spaces she is in to become more inclusive and equitable. Johanna believes in the power of the performing arts to unite people from all backgrounds, statuses, and walks of life to create change and spread the privilege of joy.
