FX’s Reservation Dogs is one of the best shows on television right now and it keeps getting snubbed. After two seasons, one of my favorite friend groups is still caught…

As a fan, I’m here to tell you Harvey Guillén’s Guillermo de la Cruz makes FX’s “What We Do In The Shadows” a familiar favorite.

If you haven’t seen Jordan Peele’s latest work of art, Nope should be your next movie night. Aside from the mysterious extraterrestrial horror that will have you at the edge of your seat, what really makes this film shine is Keke Palmer. 

If you haven’t heard of Marvel’s latest limited series, Ms. Marvel, it’s not your fault. Swept under the radar, this hidden Disney+ gem has captured the hearts of many BIPOC households. It’s one of the Marvelverse’s many efforts to bring in more diverse characters but I am frustrated it hasn’t gotten the marketing it deserves!

The Valet has a little bit of everything—gentrification, family dynamics, love and heartbreak, friendship, grief, and relatable Latinx humor.

From the reality of the American dream to mother-daughter relationships and generational trauma, tapping into different versions of yourself to examining the people we love and what they teach us—’Everything Everywhere All At Once’ will break you open and show you how beautiful chaos can be. 

After watching “Turning Red,” I realized therapy has helped me extend grace to Mei-Mei-adjacent, boy-band-obsessed thirteen-year-old me.

While I’d recommend ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ for the aesthetic, it’s the exploration of relationship dynamics that really hits the mark.

The women behind Hulu’s “Fresh,” make art out of the horrors of online dating. I just wish the reality was further from the nightmare.

To prepare for JLo’s new movie, Marry Me, I went into the JLo vault and rewatched some of my favorite movies of hers. My movie marathon made me realize how much these films shaped my career path and how much JLo inspired me to be a boss-ass woman.
