EP 52: Survive & Thrive with Producer Gricelda Garcia Ocegueda
Description
Gricelda Ocegueda is a film producer, mom, wife, first generation Mexican American, and a survivor of childhood sexual, emotional and physical abuse. Growing up in poverty, but determined to get out of it, she embraced her education and the teachers and mentors who came her way, many of whom noticed her gift for writing, art and producing at an early age when she created worlds where she was in control of the narrative and provided a much-needed outlet for the trauma she was dealing with in her domestic life. In 2017 she financed and produced her first major project, and from there, she has been passionately working towards furthering her producing credentials, starting a company called Frijoles Entertainment, giving back to others in need through volunteering with at-risk youth, and telling her personal story. She has gone on to produce ten (10) short films and we first met a few months ago while collaborating on a short film together. Tune in to hear her inspiring story, her plans for the future and how she not only survived, but thrived into the amazing woman, producer, mom, wife and mentor she is today.
