Mandy Gonzalez — They Didn't Know We Were Seeds

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment.  Our season 3 finale guest is Mandy Gonzalez, Broadway actress and recording artist. Mandy originated the role of Nina Rosario in the Off-Broadway and Broadway productions of the musical In the Heights. You can currently see her on Broadway as the alternate Norma Desmond in the Tony-winning revival of Sunset Boulevard. We discuss the importance of representation in the arts, how best to bring depth of yourself to every role you play, and how bravery and diversity can drive acceptance.
