Announcement!
Salvis Unidos Podcast Season 1 ends with episode 20! We’ll be taking a short break to improve the show, gather feedback, and come up with new ideas. Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon and there’s plenty of amazing Salvadorans out there to feature. Stay tuned for updates.
Finding yourself as a teenager is a strenuous process. It’s even harder when you have to hide the most important aspects of who you are. As a queer undocumented Salvadoran, Hazel hid the best parts of herself until theater allowed her to open up. Get artsy, don a black turtleneck, a beret, and get up on stage or behind it with Hazel Hernandez.
Hazel Hernandez is a multidisciplinary theater artist based in Brooklyn New York. She’s a playwright, director, and performer born in El Salvador. Her work has been performed from Brooklyn College to Ohio to Abu Dhabi. Hazel hopes to use theater to give a platform to immigrants, women of color and LGBTQIA communities.
