Episode 11 - Tanya Saracho

Published: April 20, 2020, 1:02 p.m.

This week Tamar is back with a new episode and could not be more excited to have Tanya Saracho join her! Tanya is brilliant and funny and shares incredible insight into her journey from playwright to TV writer. 

Tanya is the creator of Vida, a show that follows the lives of sisters Emma and Lyn as they navigate life in East LA after their mother's death. The show beautifully weaves together themes of gentrification, cultural identity, sexual identity, and family relationships. The third and final season premieres this Sunday, April 26th on STARZ. 

In this episode Tamar and Tanya have a chance to chats about the creation of the world of Vida as well as the lack of Latinx representation on TV and Tanya's experience bringing her voice to writers rooms. 

 

Enjoy!!!
