Molina Y Valentin: A Love Story for the ages

In the summer of 2022, just before moving back to New York City, I had the extremely rare pleasure of sharing the stage with the love of my life. Ulises and I left El Paso with quite the bang, acting together at EPCC’s The Forum in Kiss of the Spider Woman: A Stage Play, directed by Ted Karber Jr.

Valentin taught me so much about myself. He returned some of my own confidence of being back on stage after dedicating my time to my students at UTEP. Getting to work with Ulises strengthened our bond and understanding of one another, especially off stage.

In New York, I’ve been able to stay involved in theatre for work and personal projects, while Ulises focuses on and grows in his fashion career.
