developing narratives for Marginalized voices

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Giovanni Ortega  (SDC, AEA, SAG-AFTRA) has been working professionally for over a decade as professor, an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion speaker, a proponent of the performing arts & a cultural navigator. He believes in creating an accepting and inclusive relationship with communities and student populations alike regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and class. In the past few years, he's teamed up with several organizations around the world to observe how the arts and culture are used to inform different populations on how we can decimate discrimination and enhance acceptance. They engage, investigate and create stories that usually go untold but are relevant and important to share with everyone. As a multidisciplinary artist and facilitator in over one-hundred-forty college campuses and an international collaborator, these experiences have given Giovanni the opportunity to see the variety and diversity of what our society has to offer. This is what he continuously instills with people he interacts with in communities, organizations and academia.  Giovanni is currently the Artistic Director for FilAm Arts Teatro, a professor for AMDA College of the Performing Arts as well as Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles and was recently the Keynote Speaker for the Southeast Asian Conference (SEACON) held at UCLA.​

    Sama Sama: Solidarity in the Fields

    SAMA SAMA: SOLIDARITY IN THE FIELDS

    by Giovanni Ortega

    Sama Sama: Solidarity in the Fields is a story that utilizes the Balagtasan poetic debate form told through the lens of Tonantzin, Araw and Uriel, three high school students who are finding themselves and their cultural identity by learning about the “Manongs” and “Bracero Program”. It emphasizes the shared narratives of Mexican and Filipino culture and uses English, Spanish, and Tagalog to amplify this important piece of history.
