About the Show

"You Speak Very Good English!" is a bold blend of storytelling and poetry that challenges stereotypes I've faced as a Spanish-speaking immigrant. It confronts backhanded compliments, mislabeling, and reductive views of Latin America, offering an unfiltered exploration of identity, resistance, and the struggle to reclaim my narrative.
