NEW YORK — Marcela Alonso is marking the launch of her production company, Latina Productions, with a party at Key Bar, on July 18, at 7 p.m. (EDT).
"Latina Productions started basically as a place to put all of my podcasts and future filming endeavors,” said Alonso. “I named it Latina Productions to remind people of who owns it.”
“On average, Latinas in the U.S. are paid 51% less than white men and 31% less than white women,” she added. “I wanted to open a business that I could employ my daughters with in the future and give attention to other Latinx in the community. With everything in the media being black and white, I had no choice but to make my own opportunities.”
Key Bar is located at 432 East 13th St.
