VivirLatino

Our good friend, activist, and writer Charlie Vázquez has been the focus of a new media project by several NYU students. Charlie is the host of the PANIC! series, where VL’s own Maegan has been featured, and in this short he discusses his experiences as a gay Latino man being raised in the Bronx, how his writing is a result of his environment, and what he has learned through his experimentation with his craft.

The film was created by Acacia Beach, Michael Wright, and Rahm Kim.
