Actor, Educator, & Producer Francesca Fernandez McKenzie (proudly representing the SF Bay Area AKA Ohlone territory) founded Encompass Collective - an actor training center for new, global majority artists at sliding scale rates - after graduating from Yale School of Drama with her Master\\u2019s degree in acting. 

Jen, Nani & Francesca talk about the different spaces they\\u2019ve been in community with each other throughout the pandemic, how Francesca transformed her perceived professional drought into a unique opportunity to build intentional work supporting other BIPOC (/BIMPOC/global majority) artists, and share bicoastal resources for Filipinx folks looking to connect with their roots.
