Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio – like many Latinas – knows what she wants. And for her movie In The Summers, what she wanted was Latinas. “That was a requirement for me,” says Alessandra Lacorazza. “No. I mean, at the beginning people kept sending me Spanish actors.

In 2018, we founded LatinaMedia.Co to build power within our community. Our focus is on movies, TV, books, podcasts, and journalism because we know the media we consume every day plays a significant role in shaping society. If Latinas and queer Latinx voices aren’t part of these conversations, we risk being misunderstood and erased. As the saying goes, “If you don’t tell your own story, someone else will.”Running LatinaMedia.Co is both a joy and a challenge.

The mind is where the brightest ideas and darkest thoughts dwell. In the worst moments for people with mental health issues, these spiral points get tighter, but never end, like a moving trap. This claustrophobic atmosphere is intensely dramatized in the new film Turtles All the Way Down starring Latina Isabela Merced. The coming-of-age film based on the book by John Green (The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska, and Paper Towns) waited seven years for its cinematic realization.
