As an orphaned Latina adopted into an American family, I have always championed and fought for women, marginalized BIPOC/ LGBTQ+ voices and am active against injustice. Through storytelling and development, I help others share their unique journeys. When not showrunning a TV series or directing a film, I play the violin, paint and swim in my spare time. www.johannavanderspool.com
