Send a text
Capítulo 036: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by Founder of Utopia Moss, Pamela Prat. Listen in as we discuss the process of using Sea Moss in creative ways that promote wellness and offers priceless insights and inspiration from her entrepreneurial journey.
"Utopia Moss is your one stop shop for all your sea moss needs. At Utopia Moss we strive to make the best natural and organic sea moss products available. We specialize in flavored sea moss gel's, sea moss soap's and sea moss based facemask's."
Utopia Moss was founded in 2020 by Pamela Prat. The company was created after she got gastric sleeve surgery. The vitamins and minerals that were prescribed to her by her doctor, were making her stomach upset. Her business partner Shayda introduced her to sea moss and a light bulb lit up. She saw how her body was changing for the good and how well her stomach was handing this amazing superfood. After taking sea moss for about 1 months she realized how many benefits sea moss has and how it can be used in different ways.At that point, I knew sea moss and its many benefits was something I wanted to share with the world.
I started off making Sea moss sauce and that turned into sea moss infused body/beauty products. Her line of products include soaps (#1seller), body foaming scrubs as well as serums, face mask, beard balms and of course sea moss sauce. My company's message is "Healthy living starts on the inside". Once you start to take care for your body from the inside you will see all the benefits on the outside.

1 hr 2 min - A Glimpse Into the Future of Theatre with Teatro Vista's Co-Artistic Directors Wendy Mateo and Lorena Diaz
Send a text
Capítulo 029: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by Teatro Vista's Co-Artistic Directors Wendy Mateo and Lorena Diaz. Listen in as we discuss pushing the boundaries of digital theatre, creating a safe space for artists to explore, and a sisterhood that has lasted over two decades.
Teatro Vista, Theatre With A View is firmly committed to sharing and celebrating the riches of Latino culture with all Chicago theatre audiences. This commitment stems from the belief that there are as may similarities as there are differences, and that perhaps the answer to breaking down the walls of prejudice and stereotypes lies in understanding these differences. Ultimately, it is through this "view" that Teatro Vista intends to bridge the gap between Latino and non-Latino cultures in Chicago.Diaz and Mateo are a “multihyphenated jefa” comedy duo who have enjoyed their creative partnership for more than 20 years. They co-founded (with six other partners) their own content creation studio, Chicago4Real, and co-host their livestream show Bochinche at Nite on the studio's Twitch channel. They have co-written and directed several films including Good Mothers (official selection of HBO NY Latino Film Festival and the Chicago Latino Film Festival), Sunset 1919, written by J. Nicole Brooks in collaboration with Lookingglass Theatre, and Identified, produced by Full Spectrum Features. As Dominizuelan, they performed nationally for years and pursued several independent projects, including co-writing and starring in the comedy web-series Dominizuelan Consulate, created in collaboration with Fred Armisen, producer/director Alice Mathias and Mas Mejor Productions.
Diaz (she/her/hers), a “Made in Chicago” hybrid of Peruvian Indigenous descent and American Latino swagger, has bounced between Chicago’s theater and comedy scenes for 15 years. She is familiar to Teatro Vista audiences for portraying Carolina in the company’s acclaimed 2018 world premiere The Madres by Stephanie Alison Walker. She subsequently co-directed Teatro Vista’s 2019 premiere of Walker’s sequel, The Abuelas. Her many other collaborations include work with Jo Cattell and Steppenwolf 1700 (Tumbao, a live radio play), iO Chicago (People in the City), Mike Oquendo Productions, Goodman, Playground Theatre and The Second City. She is most commonly known for her work over six seasons as the snarky Nurse Doris on Dick Wolf's Chicago Med, Fire and PD francOcu-Pasión Podcast, hosted by Delsy Sandoval, is a heartfelt interview series celebrating the diverse experiences of Latin American/Latinx artists and visionaries.
