I learned to enjoy reading at age 19 when Miguel Cervantes taught me to “See life not as it is, but as it should be.” After decades in the sciences and academia surrounded by mostly white males, I’m passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in my screenwriting career. I enjoy writing lead roles for intelligent, powerful, women and under-represented people of color as role models for future generations. This is where I stand in a tally of my first 94 scripts.

I think viewers don't need stories about strong women. They want stories about strong villains.

There were a lot of white people starring in the movies, because mostly white people went to the cinemas. There were a lot of men in the lead roles, because men and women want to pay for films with male characters. The market decides.
