❤️From henceforth I will, coz, and devise sports.
Let me see; what think you of falling in love?❤️

If you would’ve told the me from 5 years ago I would’ve willingly taken a month long Shakespeare intensive I would’ve laughed in your face. I didn’t think anyone would’ve taken me serious as a Shakespearian actor, who would see me and think of Hamlet or Midsummer? But @shakeandcoactortraining proved me wrong, building me up to grow in love for the Bard and teach me how to finally breathe. I also met some of my most favorite people on earth in this intensive, people who taught me how to be a better actor and person not only on the stage but in life. I got to truly be myself for a month and yall helped nurture that.

Here I am performing AS YOU LIKE IT (That was my first ever Shakespeare show to do #audrey) doing my own Rosalind in the Tina Packer Playhouse in front of THEE Tina Packer, my amazing Celia @xinyi_sun_ by my side. ❤️

@xinyi_sun_ my dear cousin, my partner, my friend, how incredibly lucky I was to be partnered with you and share a stage! It’s not often I can find another actor that shows me what true chemistry and partnership is but I found it with you. I can’t wait till we share a stage again❤️

谢谢表哥🫂❤️

Shakespeare really can make you happy, and how lucky I was to be with you all 🎭

Full Circle: first ever Shakespeare show I done was As You Like It as Audrey and here I got to finish my final showing playing Rosalind, now with my own amazing Celia @xinyi_sun_ ❤️you

I was incredibly lucky to share a once in a lifetime experience with an amazing group of actors while being guided by a phenomenal group of teachers at @shakeandcoactortraining

I don’t think there are enough words to really describe the joy of working with these amazing people or the pain at leaving them but hopefully these pictures will give a glimpse of the fun and mayhem we had! ❤️❤️❤️ #shakespeareandcompany #shakespeare #actors taken in Shakespeare & Company by @maybeitsnaidelyn

It took me forever to make the London post seeing as I had too many pictures and adventures to choose from but boy oh boy how lucky I am!

For my first trip over the pond, think I did pretty good solo. Any fears I held before going on that plane melted when I got to take my first glimpse of the city. Homeland of English Breakfast and Princess Diana, fish and chips, Jane Austen, Stonehenge, All day Drinking, Football, Drunk Shakespeare..

For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel the heavy weight or punch of my constant solitude. The loneliness I always held gave me a break. And I got to bond with myself more than ever before. If life is all about learning to fall in love with yourself, my love story had a real movie magic start. I hope I can feel that love of freedom again, hopefully soon and in another country!🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

Until then, London🇬🇧🎭💋

✨Welcome to the Renaissance🪩✨

My bank account had hit the negatives this summer but I had Renaissance on my mind and vision board. I told my mom if I got a good paying job with a check that hits, the second I’m out of negatives I’ll get a ticket and pay it off somehow. Well that good paying job came, and the second my bank account hit up I bought a floor seat ticket to the renaissance tour a few days before she was coming to Mass. I pulled this outfit from my closet together and I got to see the one and only B E Y O N C E🐝. To be able to watch a living legend work on a stage in this way, it was an honor watching her work. I am blessed to live in the era of Beyoncé, nothing like her before or ever will!!!! #beyonce #renaissanceworldtour #renaissance #gillettestadium #beehive taken in The Renaissance World Tour by @maybeitsnaidelyn

Told my mom how I could only dream of meeting Tenoch, but the closest he is to me is all the way in Chicago! Mami said just buy a ticket, if it's meant to be we can make it there. And we did! I knew I was in his line when I followed all the Mexicans and Namor cosplays

It was amazing to meet the love of my life Tenoch Huerta! 🥰 A second before I was about to meet him, I was thinking of leaving the line because the moment became too real to even process. But my turn came up and in my broken Spanish I gave a "hello, how are you!". He looked at me and said in a low kind tone to give him a hug right now. We squeezed each other tight and once done, he looked down (very tall and I was wearing like 5 inch boots) almost in a dreamy telenovela way and I just squeaked out a goodbye and ran out of there. I was about to drop from being next to such an attractive man who smelled good and looked at you like he was seeing you. I was able to see him one more time for an autograph and in those 10 seconds I was able to invite him to my play lol and tell him thank you for your talent. So this is how our meet cute began: at a con! ✨💖

Also I got to meet Chris Evans! I got to go meet him wearing my Tio's Captain America shirt so Tio got to meet him as well. Meeting Chris Evans, I had sneezes last longer then that interaction but either way, he was very sweet in the 1 second he was allowed to talk to me. I went up to him and said "omg your real?!" He laughed at that and then I said "hey can you do this idea for me?" Cause essentially we were not allowed to really ask for poses. He said of course and this is how it came out, and then I said goodbye like he was meeting me and then left❤️🙃

I think it's surreal writing this after 5 years fighting to make it to this point. Graduation 🎓. I got a bachelor's degree, after a transfer from a bumb ass school and a major and minor change. I can genuinely say right now over all the valuable things I learned and experienced being at Hunter College, I did not really enjoy college. It sucked and took alot out of me more than I can say. I wouldn't want to relive this time of my life again sadly. I can't posts photo dumps or constant pics of me doing fun things my age, I didn't have the energy or the money to participate in that life I thought I could have. College never felt it was made for people like me, poor and alone, to truly thrive or succeed in the first try. But I made it, no matter how hungry or isolated I was I did it. So I'm really making this post out to all my college graduates that felt left out in all this. To the ones who couldn't go out constantly with friends because they couldn't afford it or didn't have any to go with. To the ones having to live in strangers homes to be able to take classes. To the ones that worked their asses out but didn't reach that extra department validation they wish they had or deserved. To the ones that didn't find their true friends or lovers yet, the people they told could be there for them. To the ones that got skinny because food is expensive and had no parents to cook for them, no family accessable. College took alot more than you thought it should but at the end, we touched that red line and walked through it. I love you guys and hope the best for the new journey waiting for us. Can't wait to see you on the other side❤️🌄
