On making Latinos the center of the story in “Josefina López: ‘I became the protagonist of my story’” in Boyle Heights Beat (2018 Sep 19)
“

I became the protagonist of my story and the protagonist of my life. I realized we’ve all been left out of this story. We are always the supporting characters, and we have to say no. My job is to show people that everyone belongs in the theater, everyone belongs making films, everybody has something important to teach someone else. And that’s why stories are so important.
