She got her start in feminism from a book of feminist nursery rhymes, and her start in pop culture analysis from 9 years of homeschooling (translation: 9 years of TV and movie watching). A firm believer in queering the collective consciousness, she strives to inspire people to redesign their idea of normal and step out their comfort zone. She takes inspiration from Gertrude Stein, Buffy, Angela Davis, Faith and bell hooks. Someone once described her as \\u201cThe love child of Angela Davis and Ru-Paul\\u201d and she thinks that just about sums it up.\\nAlba Daza is a 27-year-old emerging Latinx writer/director/podcaster based in Montreal, Canada.\\xa0 At 13 years old she discovered (through Buffy) that she wanted to be a screenwriter and hasn\\u2019t let go of that dream since. Her stories focus on telling and celebrating the stories of marginalized voices, giving them space to breathe and thrive. Through her work, she plans to decolonize pop culture and Slay white supremacy, just like Buffy taught her.\\xa0\\n--You can learn more about this new series and our other initiatives here at Buffering the Vampire Slayer & Angel On Top at bufferingthevampireslayer.com/justkeepfighting\\nLogo by Kristine Thune\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
