    Brenda Raquel Gave Acting One Year. A Decade Later, She’s Still Here.

    When Brenda Raquel came back to acting, she gave herself one year to make it. More than a decade later, the Dominican actress from Dyckman has a recurring role as Lulu Davis on Law & Order: SVU and writes and directs for the workplace comedy La Factoría. She also has kids to raise and a full-time job to show up for. This week on Tales of a Latina, I sit down with Brenda to talk about what kept her auditioning after that first year, the humor she grew up with in Dyckman, and the roles she wants to write for Dominican women. If you’ve ever put a deadline on a dream, this one’s for you. 🇩🇴🎙️ Follow Brenda at @missbigb and follow Tales of a Latina wherever you listen. Send this episode to the friend who’s still making time for her dream after work. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
