Welcome to Breaking the Silence. I’m Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez—bestselling author, screenwriter, and unapologetic truth-teller. For over 20 years, I’ve navigated the highs and lows of Hollywood as a Latina creator, fighting to tell our stories in a world that often refuses to listen. This podcast pulls back the curtain on the film and TV industry, exposing the racism, sexism, and gatekeeping that too many of us face. Together, we’ll dive into my personal journey, share untold stories, and explore what it means to reclaim our voices in a system designed to silence them. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s long overdue. This is Breaking the Silence.
