Every episode of the AW Confidential Podcast is special. In some way, I am left inspired or empowered by each guest. Sasha Merci's interview hit differently because I can see myself in her, as will many others.
As the daughter of Dominican immigrants, raised in New York, I connected with the Comedian-Actress. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have her on our platform.
The Bronx native has used her personal experiences as a 2nd generation Dominican to help our community open dialogue on topics that may have been taboo years ago. Her first love was music but she shifted to an art form that offered her more freedom of expression and creative autonomy. Comedy.
Sasha's credits include El Teteo Parties, the film De Lo Mio, the Fuse series, Share, Like, Dimelo, and collaborations with Bumble, AT&T, Heineken, and others.
Listen as we discuss our Dominican roots including family, the dream, the use of words Hispanic, Latina, Latine, Latinx, El Teteo Parties, and the new film role in Righteous Thieves.
Now, we will see her as "Nadia" in the Lionsgate film, "Righteous Thieves" which premiered in select theatres, On Digital, and On Demand.
