It’s over now. I don’t even know what to say or how to start. Electricidad was truly an unforgettable experience. This show has brought so many people together and has enlightened young adults, like me, to embrace their culture. On first glance, I never in a million years would’ve thought that this play would’ve impacted me the way it did. My whole life I’ve always been ashamed to be the one kid who didn’t know how to speak Spanish, to be the one kid at the family bbq that didn’t know what to eat, to be the one kid that didn’t know any of the Mexican holidays or to be the one that’s never been to Mexico. Joining this play, I was afraid to be judged based off my inexperience with my culture. But instead of being ridiculed, I was welcomed. Welcomed into a family of pure kind hearted people who didn’t think little of me. I was celebrated and encouraged to do right by myself and embrace what I am instead of being ashamed of what I didn’t know. In the small amount of time we had together this cast and crew has become a family. To my Nino, @nefortiz your guidance and wisdom has made me a better man and big brother. I will forever be in your corner. To my Abuela, @nattvalen_22 your innocence and beauty made ever day a day to remember. You truly are a ray of light. To my hard chola sister, @llunamercedes your love and compassion always gave me hope that the next day will be better than today. I’ll cherish you forever. To my mama, @luzpearll your generosity and grace made me feel safe and confident in our scenes together. Your unrelenting desire to be your best for others inspired me to be the best for you. Our scenes were the hardest to get through and I’m grateful we had each other. And to you, my beautiful loving sister, Electricidad @isaarojaas your dedication and courage inspired me to do more and more each day. To make each show better than the last. Our bond is something I’ll never let go of. I thank you with love and tears. To the rest of our cast and crew, I can’t express how grateful I am to each and every single one of you. Thank you all for taking me in and reminding me that I was apart of something bigger than myself.
