00:00The truth is that puberty, adolescence, is a time in anyone's life full of changes and challenges that have to be overcome.

00:11And when one faces criticism, prejudices, this affects anyone's psyche, right?

00:20No matter how strong one is, or how much support one has at home,

00:27the bullying and cruelty of children or teenagers at that time affects the human being a lot.

00:37And in my case, too.

00:39It was very difficult to overcome the criticism,

00:44to understand that maybe it was part of the cruelty of the person who sent that criticism,

00:51and that it had nothing to do with me.

00:54And to realize that the physical is not what matters in a person's life.

01:01What matters is what one is as a person, the energy one projects,

01:05how good or bad one makes the other feel.

01:09The body is something that belongs to one, and it is only one's right and responsibility to take care of it,

01:18to say, I'm fine, I'm thinner, I'm fatter, I need to be healthier.

01:24It is not a question of taking those criticisms from someone from the outside, right?

01:30I first learned to be good and merciful to myself,

01:40to realize that what I decide and what I think of myself is what matters,

01:46not to give so much value to what the other says about you,

01:50especially if it has to do with the physical.

01:53And I also learned to be a better person with others,

01:57because sometimes, and above all I was reflecting before we started talking,

02:03that the bullying I received when I was a girl affected me a lot,

02:09and sometimes I also put myself in a somewhat aggressive role,

02:14or defensive with others, and that's why I also caused pain in other people.

02:19Not in the same way that I received it,

02:22but you also have to realize that sometimes the bad vibes,

02:28or the criticism you receive, sometimes it affects you,

02:32and you start to manifest yourself in the same way, right?

02:38When you find a child in school who has aggressive tendencies,

02:44and that comes from home, that's the experience he or she has at home.

02:49So sometimes the things you receive, you end up doing them in the same way.

02:54So the experience helped me realize my own value,

02:58and how I speak to myself, and how I speak to others.

03:01Try not to hurt others.

03:04It's difficult because this city, beyond the industry,

03:08is a very superficial city, where any physical defect,

03:14or any quality you don't like, you can modify it, you can change it.

03:18There are millions of aesthetic treatments to be done everywhere,

03:22and you say, stop, I need to get a dermal treatment,

03:28abrasion, micro-needling, I don't know what.

03:32Sometimes you don't even know what it means.

03:36I think the important thing is the solvency with which one sees this city.

03:43Most of the people who are here come from elsewhere,

03:46from another country, or at least from another state, another city.

03:49It's very important to come with a certain solidity in your personality,

03:54so that this external pressure doesn't affect you so easily, right?

04:01On the other hand, when one, for example,

04:04takes out the headshots, the professional photos,

04:07to start applying to auditions, one has a type,

04:12a role that, due to its physique, can face certain types of characters.

04:20I, with my physique, I measure 5'4", which is about 62,

04:26I have black hair, I have an important physique,

04:33I'm not going to be a Barbie, right?

04:36That's what I have, of course.

04:38It's also a matter of being aware of the roles that one can apply or not,

04:45as well as managing rejection, or managing the possibility that they tell you,

04:50no, don't do this.

04:53So it's a little bit of everything.

04:55A little bit of being solvent, of being solid with your personality,

04:59to know who you are and why you came here.

05:03On the other hand, being aware of what one physically projects,

05:07of the roles that one can apply.

05:09And on the other hand, I don't know, doing what makes you happy.

05:13I don't think anyone is happy torturing themselves

05:17because they don't have the body of that or that,

05:20or because they would like to be taller or skinnier.

05:24There is a part of acceptance, right?

05:27And well, Hollywood has to accept me as I am.

05:31That's how we're all going to be happy.

05:33I would like my message to reach, above all, the youth.

05:39The people, the boys who today are all the time on social media

05:43and are seeing the number of people in the world there are,

05:48the number of people who are perhaps hegemonically more attractive,

05:54and that generates a lot of pressure and a lot of things

05:58that you want to modify yourself to look like that,

06:01because you think that the physical and the aesthetic

06:05is equivalent to being happy, to having a successful life.

06:10In Argentina, I also worked as a theater teacher for teenagers.

06:16And I loved working with teenagers because I still feel like a teenager.

06:21And when I talk to them, it's like you have a chance to tell them,

06:25the body doesn't define itself, you're not the best or the worst person

06:32because you have one weight or you have the other weight.

06:35So I think the message would be to accept yourself,

06:40if you feel like you need to modify your healthy life,

06:46your diet, the exercise you do, that's one thing.

06:50The other thing is to crush yourself because you're not in the weight you want

06:56or because you don't look like the person you admire.

06:59So I think that especially in younger generations,

07:02it's important to convey that message that,

07:05even if it's in the cliché, what's important is what's inside.

07:08And what's outside fits in and it's not what defines you.

07:13I think that's important.

07:15Los Angeles, in Hollywood, is a whirlwind of things.

07:21There are days when you say, well, I have four auditions, five auditions.

07:26There are weeks when everything is calmer and you say,

07:28oh, what am I going to do with my life?

07:31The good thing is that I have projects in Puerta.

07:35There is a very important theater festival here in the city of Los Angeles.

07:38We are preparing a play.

07:40If God wants, in June I'm going to work on a movie

07:44that has a theme that touches me a lot and that I think all women will touch.

07:48I can't say much about that, but it's a project that excites me a lot.

07:53I'm very happy with my character.

07:56There's nothing more beautiful than facing a character

08:00that you admire or think is similar or you can identify with.

08:09So that's what we're doing.

08:11We're doing a lot of auditions.

08:13Like everything here, you have to have faith, wait and follow your passion and dreams until the end.
