Please join me Enrique Morones and tune in to our latest episode of our new podcast, “Buen Hombre -Magnificent Mujer”, where I will be interviewing Josefina López a Chicana playwright, perhaps best known as the author of the play (and co-author of the screenplay) Real Women Have Curves. López is also the Founding Artistic Director of the CASA 0101 theater located in Boyle Heights, CA, which began in 2000.

Josefina’s spirit is firey, courageous, generous and she is the quintessential trailblazer for women and Chicana Artivists, and all of us with something to say, that needs to be heard around the globe.
