The Toledo Museumof Art (TMA) welcomeselectronic producer Jlinto a one-of-a-kind per-formance in theMuseum’s GlasSalonThursday, Feb. 20,2020. Jerrilynn Patton,known as Jlin, is one ofthe most prominentwomen producersworking today.
Jlin grew up in thesteel manufacturingtown of Gary, Indiana,just 20 miles fromdowntown Chicago.Her early fame came inthe genre of footwork,a high-tempo house/club dance style bornin Chicago clubs. Shebegan her career usingmusic samples to con-struct her tracks, buttoday her compositionsare built of entirelyoriginal sounds that Jlinherself creates. Shemakes a practice of dis-covering new stylesand taking on newprojects that result insounds and scores un-like any she’s createdbefore. For example,recent projects includean original score for

CIUDAD DE GUATE-MALA, 12 XII 19 (AP): Dosfamilias de migrantescentroamericanos fueronenviada el jueves de EstadosUnidos a Guatemala.
En este país se percibe que lallegada de éstas y otrosmigrantes de la región ocurrebajo un acuerdo bilateral quecoloca a Guatemala como “ter-cer país seguro” para recibir alos migrantes detenidos en elnorte y que habrían solicitadoasilo en Estados Unidos. Sinembargo, autoridadesestadounidenses han dicho quelos migrantes enviados a Gua-temala no tienen casos de asiloabiertos en su territorio.
La Dirección de Migraciónlocal confirmó la llegada de 14migrantes, siete de Honduras ysiete de El Salvador, grupos enlos que se incluye a dos familias,cada con un menor de edad.Junto a los migrantes tambiénfueron deportados 119guatemaltecos, todosprovenientes de El Paso, Texas.
Los centroamericanostrasladados el jueves se sumana los diez que habían llegadodurante las dos semanaspasadas.
Según el Ministro deGobernación, EnriqueDegenhart, todos loshondureños y salvadoreños quellegaron el jueves decidieronno aplicar al asilo y solicitaronsu traslado a sus respectivospaíses. Del total de 24 personasque han sido trasladadas, sólodos han solicitado protecciónen el país, dijo el ministro.
El gobierno guatemaltecono provee de nada a losmigrantes que arriban al país, nitrabajo, ni alojamiento, aunqueel trámite de asilo suele durar
meses.La Organización
Internacional de laMigraciones (OIM) y ONGscomo Refugio de la Niñez yCasa del Migrantes hanprovisto de alimentos, cuidadomédico, albergue o traslados asus países a quienes lorequieran.
La llegada de las dosfamilias de migrantes coincidecon la presencia en Guatemalade Chad F. Wolf, secretariointerino del Departamento deSeguridad Internaestadounidense, que se reúnecon los ministros de seguridadGuatemala, Honduras y El Sal-vador.
Al finalizar, Wolf calificóde éxito importante la reuniónsostenida con sus homólogosen el esfuerzo por incrementarla seguridad fronteriza, lamigración irregular ycontrarrestar lasorganizaciones criminalestransnacionales que afectan laprosperidad en la región.
“Específicamente hemosdesarrollado los próximospasos para implementarcompletamente nuestrosanteriores acuerdos, identificarnuevas oportunidades parapromover nuestros objetivoscompartidos, proteger anuestras poblaciones másvulnerables y mantener yreducir aún más los flujosmigratorios ilegales;proporcionar vías para que lossolicitantes de asilo legítimosbusquen protección más cercade casa”, dijo Wolf.
El secretario anunció lafirma de un acuerdo con ElSalvador sobre el ProgramaConjunto de Seguridad (JSPpor sus siglas en inglés), el cual
dijo que aseguraría los sistemasde aviación salvadoreños delos pasajeros vinculados alterrorismo, narcóticos, armas ycontrabando de divisas.
Wolf expresó que desdejunio se han firmado 12acuerdos operativos deseguridad conjunta con Guate-mala, Honduras y El Salvador.“Como resultado de losesfuerzos de nuestraadministración, incluidasnuestras asociacionesregionales, migrar ilegalmentea los Estados Unidos nuncahabía tenido tan pocasprobabilidades de éxito’’,aseguró.
A preguntas de periodistassobre un video publicado por laorganización Pro Pública en laque se ve al menor guatemaltecoCarlos Gregorio Hernández enagonía y sin recibir asistenciamédica por parte de la patrullafronteriza que lo tenía bajo sucustodia en mayo pasado, elsecretario dijo que había sidouna muerte trágica y que el casoestaba bajo investigación.
El ministro Degenhart dijoque uno de los acuerdosalcanzados en la reunión fuela creación de una unidad re-gional especializada en el áreade investigación criminal queva analizar los delitosfinancieros cometidos poro r g a n i z a c i o n e stransnacionales que sededican a la trata de personas.Agregó que se invitará aparticipar a México, CostaRica y Panamá al combate delas organizaciones quetrafican con personas.

el trámite para ser aceptadoscomo refugiados.
El canciller argentinoFelipe Solá indicó que no sesabe aún dónde residirá elexmandatario. “Lo va a tenerque comunicar en el pedidooficial de refugio... él se sientemejor acá que en México, queestá lejos, y sus dos hijos estánacá”, dijo el funcionario al ca-nal de cable Todo Noticias.
Argumentó que unrefugiado “tiene temoresfundados de ser perseguido pordistintos motivos’’ y requierede la protección que no tieneen su país. “Si no nosocupábamos de él rápidamentecorría peligro su vida”, subrayóSola, quien indicó que elexmandatario “viene paraquedarse”.
Asimismo puntualizó queMorales debe asumir “elcompromiso de no hacerdeclaraciones políticas en laArgentina”.
El gobierno de la presidentainterina de Bolivia, JeanineÁñez, acusa al líder indígena desedición y terrorismo tras unmes de convulsión social en elpaís andino que dejó al menos32 muertos.
La canciller bolivianaKaren Longaric expresó en unarueda de prensa que espera queel gobierno argentino “cumplalas normas internacionalesreferidas al asilo o refugiopolítico... no queremos queocurra como en México dondeEvo Morales tenía micrófonoabierto y una palestra”.
La llegada de Morales y susacompañantes se mantuvo enla mayor reserva.
Es esperable que los reciénllegados consigan la condicióndada la cercanía de Moralescon Fernández, uno de losdirigentes de centroizquierdade la región que más le haexpresado su apoyo.
La Comisión Nacional paralos Refugiados integrada, en-tre otros, por funcionarios devarios ministerios y del AltoComisionado de las Naciones
Unidas para los Refugiados,decide la concesión de eseestatus. Si la solicitud esrechazada por la comisión,puede ser apelada anteinstancias administrativas,judiciales y en últimainstancia definida por lasautoridades de migraciones.
Ningún refugiado puedeser expulsado o extraditadoa otro Estado si hay razonespara creer que estaría enpeligro su vida y libertad.
El antecesor deFernández, el conservadorMauricio Macri, no habíareconocido formalmente aÁñez pero evitó calificar losucedido en Bolivia comoun golpe de Estado comohicieron otros líderespolíticos regionales.
Solá dijo que no estáprogramada para el juevesninguna reunión de Moralescon el presidente argentino,quien abogó por que el líderindígena viajara a Méxicopara ser asilado por elgobierno de López Obrador.
“Para nosotros en Boliviahay un gobierno de facto“,sostuvo Solá y puntualizóque se apuesta a la prontacelebración de elecciones enese país.
Según la cancillerboliviana “por gobiernosamigos” se supo que Mo-rales viajó de Cuba a BuenosAires en una aerolíneamexicana.
Morales renunciócercado por las protestas enrechazo al supuesto fraudeen las elecciones del 20 deoctubre en las que buscabasu reelección para un cuartomandato. El exmandatarioha negado que hubierairregularidades pese a queuna auditoría de la OEAdetectó manipulación yfalsificación de las actaselectorales para favorecer alex gobernante.

El informe preliminar dela CIDH condenó “lasmasacres de Sacaba ySenkata, en las que sehabrían cometido gravesviolaciones de los derechoshumanos”. Estosenfrentamientos dejaron18 muertos, al parecerseguidores delexpresidente Evo Moralesque habrían fallecido pordisparos de armas de fuegodurante una incursión delas fuerzas del orden.

Con el dinerorecaudado se ayudará aFriends of Children deVenezuela para enviarpañales, formula infantil yequipo médico a Venezu-ela.
VUM es unaorganización sin fines delucro establecida en elcondado de Oakland,Michigan que realizaapoyo comunitario localen Lansing,proporcionando agua po-table, o Detroit, con ropa ydonaciones médicas;Puerto Rico, Texas yCiudad de México,después de losdevastadores huracanesde años anteriores conalimentos y ropa. Además,han enviadomedicamentos, alimentos,pañales, fórmulas, etc., aVenezuela, entregadospor Amigos de los Niñosde Venezuela y elPrograma de AyudaHumanitaria para Ven-ezuela, ambasorganizaciones sin finesde lucro.
“Gracias a lasganancias de estetipo de eventos escómo podemosproveer ayudahumanitaria ad i f e r e n t e sc o m u n i d a d e s ” ,destacó AlfredNavarro, quienrecordó que UVMinició hace cincoaños con el objetivode ayudar a losvenezolanos en loseventos que estabany siguen ocurriendoen su país.Posteriormente, seconvirtieron formalmenteen una organización sinfines de lucro. Todo lo quese ha logrado ha sidogracias al trabajodesinteresado de la mesadirectiva y el gran equipode voluntarios que no solootorgan su tiempo, sino enmuchas ocasiones hasta sudinero para sacar adelantelos proyectos.
De acuerdo con elPresidente de UVM, haymuchos venezolanos enMichigan. “Cuandohacemos este tipo deeventos viene gente deGrand Rapids, de Ohio yotros lugares más. Noshemos reunido hasta 500personas pero sabemosque hay muchos más;aunque no tenemos unnúmero exacto”.
Finalmente, Alfredcomparte la razón por laque es importante ayudar
a Venezuela: “Soymédico y llegue a EstadosUnidos en el 2003.Cuando viví en Venezu-ela trabaje en diferenteslugares y tenía quecomprar lo que necesitabapara mis pacientes porqueellos no podían conseguirinyecciones y hastaantibióticos, en estemomento no se encuentranada de eso. Actualmente,el 85% de venezolanosestá en estado de pobreza,el 10% se ha ido del paísen estos últimos 3 años.Los hospitales públicosque eran de la mejorcalidad hace 20 años estánpésimos. La facultad demedicina necesita $500dólares mensuales parapoder subsistir y haperdido sus profesoresporque no puedencostear el sueldo, sonmuy pocos los que se
quedan para ayudar a losdemás”.
“Los que estamos lejosdeseamos ayudar a nuestrafamilia, amigos y a la genteque lo necesita. Mi familiaenvía dinero a una primapara que compre harina pany cuando salga a la calle loentregue a los niños queestán pidiendo dinero, asícomo a los abuelitos queestán llegando del sur deVenezuela a las grandesciudades para pedir dineroy comida. Sabemos que lasdonaciones que enviamosa diferentes barrios através de organizacionesque trabajan directamentecon barrios pobres, sonun grano de arena pero espreferible eso que nada”,concluyó.

Both Democrats and Re-publicans supported thebill in a close 55-53 vote.
Op Ed by Lonnie Scott,executive director ofProgress Michigan:“Communities and publicservices across Michiganare starving for resourcesand the Legislature shouldnot be in the business ofgiving massive tax hand-outs to corporations.
Michigan’s roads arefalling apart, our schoolsare underfunded, andcommunity services ev-eryone relies on are get-ting by on scraps. Thesecorporations have tonsof cash to dole out onlobbying efforts, butcannot be botheredwith paying their fairshare. We must de-mand better.”

Coleman, Director of Tech-nology and Innovation forHART, “Sometimes you justhave an aptitude for cod-ing, regardless of gender.Events like these are im-portant to expose studentsto this industry to find ifthey would be interested incoding and technology andor even maybe have a natu-ral aptitude.” He added,“Coding is like learning anew language. You haveyour basic codes andbuild on that language asyou learn.”
Greg Krabach, SeniorSoftware Developer forHART, shared that he re-ally likes working withyouth, especially when itcomes to technology likethis coding event. “It isinteresting to see how dif-ferent people approachcoding,” He said. “Somepeople move full forwardand use a lot of trial anderror and others tend topre-plan their paths.

To the Editor of La Prensa,Let’s be clear: The Trump administration has illegally trapped nearly
60,000 asylum-seekers in Mexico, and is forcing thousands more to wait forweeks and months to even apply. These attacks have broken with decadesof bipartisan policy and are endangering vulnerable people who are lookingfor shelter at our doorstep.
On Tuesday, we’ll be in court fighting one of Trump’s several attempts togut the asylum system. As we prepare, we want to share Julia’s story withyou.
‘Julia’ (a pseudonym) is a Nicaraguan teenager who fled her home afterparticipating in student-led protests. On June 20, 2018, Julia was tear-gassedwhile peacefully marching in the streets. As she ran away, one of her friendswas shot in the head and killed next to her.
As the government cracked down on protestors, her family was visited bymen who said they were supporters of the government. They told her sisterthat they would kill Julia along with her entire family.
So, she went on the run.Thinking that the U.S. would be a safe haven for her, she traveled to the
border near El Paso, Texas, where she asked for asylum. There, she wasplaced into the “Migrant Protection Protocols” – also called “Remain inMexico” – a new program unrolled this year that forces asylum-seekers whohave reached the U.S. back to Mexico where they have to fend forthemselves while awaiting their court dates in the U.S.
Now Julia is stuck in Ciudad Juarez, a city known for cartel-relatedviolence and mysterious disappearances of young women.
Her story isn’t unique. Across Mexico, people who have been placed intothe MPP face insecurity, homelessness, and extreme danger. Human rightsgroups have documented a pattern of asylum-seekers being targeted forextortion and kidnapping by criminal groups – and even police officers –while they wait for their cases to be heard.
The MPP is illegal. The Trump administration is trying to make racism andxenophobia the law of the land, and frightened asylum-seekers at thesouthern border are one of its main targets.
But the ACLU is fighting back. We’re in court challenging the MPP alongwith the other attacks on asylum-seekers the government has tried toimplement.
Thanks for your support,

Bush: GOP can’t let ‘racist’ episodes slideBy PAUL J. WEBER, Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas,Dec. 12, 2019 (AP):George P. Bush, the onlymember of the Bushdynasty still in publicoffice, condemnedThursday recurring epi-sodes of what he de-scribed as racist or hate-ful rhetoric within theTexas GOP, and rippedwhat he called false ac-cusations fanned by hisHispanic heritage.
Bush, Texas’ landcommissioner, first de-nounced a white GOPstate legislator who sug-gested “Asian“ chal-lengers on the ballot in2020 were motivated byrace. He then joined oth-ers Saturday in callingfor the resignation of aRepublican countychairwoman near Hous-ton who used a racialslur in a text messageabout a black party or-ganizer.
But his latest rebukewas personal: in a tweetWednesday, Bush ques-tioned whether criticshad falsely accused himof plotting to erect astatue of Santa Anna—the Mexican generalwhose troops killedTexas independencefighters at the Alamo inSan Antonio in 1836—because his mother,Columba Bush, wasborn in Mexico. Hecalled the accusation“flat out racist.“
Bush is the grandson
of former PresidentGeorge H.W. Bush, whodied last year, and theson of former FloridaGov. Jeb Bush, who wasa presidential candidatein 2016.
“I don’t want to elevatethe status or the identityof those that are on theextremes in this discus-sion that have called outpeople’s backgrounds,called out my ethnicity,my mom’s heritage,”Bush told The AssociatedPress. “But for those thataren’t adding value byinjecting hatred and rac-ism, (they) should haveno place in civil dis-course.”
He didn’t mentionnames, but appeared tobe referring to a recentpost on a Facebook groupcalled “Save the Alamo.”Bush’s office is oversee-ing a dramatic overhaulof the area surroundingTexas’ most-visited land-mark. The project hasriled some conservativeswho worry the Battle ofthe Alamo will be sani-tized by excessive politi-cal correctness.
The post offers no evi-dence that Bush plans toerect such a statue. Aleader of the group is RickRange, who unsuccess-fully challenged Bush inlast year’s Republicanprimary and opposes theAlamo project. Range didnot immediately respondThursday to a phone call
and email seeking com-ment.
Bush said he has “leta lot slide” from critics,adding he has reportedsome threatening postson social media to statepolice. “When you call(out) somebody’s loy-alty, patriotism or useracist or hateful rheto-ric, it’s just not produc-tive. And, you know,unfortunately, it feedsinto the narrative ofwhat we’ve seen thispast week where I’vehad to call out fellowRepublicans,” he said.
As the only Hispanicelected statewide offi-cial in Texas who isn’ta judge, Bush said hehas felt compelled inrecent weeks to speakout. Republicans’ de-cades-long grip onTexas weakened in2018 and party leadershave stressed a need toconnect with more mi-nority voters.
“If you just let state-ments like this in 2019slide, I think it sets abad precedent headinginto 2020,” Bush said.
Bush was firstelected land commis-sioner in 2014. OnMonday, his 33-year-old cousin, Pierce Bush,announced his first runfor public office, jump-ing into a crowded Re-publican primary racefor a congressional seatin suburban Houston.

CLEVELAND, Dec.17, 2019: A colorful ar-ray of scholarship an-nouncements speckle themessage board posted forstudents in the Plant Sci-ence and Landscape Tech-nology program atCuyahoga CommunityCollege (Tri-C®).
Kasandra Hernándezalways noticed the fliersas she walked by on herway to class. Finally, aftera year, she “found thegung-ho” to apply.
The scholarships thatfollowed paid for her col-lege education.
Ms. Hernández gradu-ated from Tri-C this monthwith an Associate of Ap-plied Science degree andprofessional certificates inlandscape horticultureand landscape contract-ing. She leaves the Col-lege with a flawless 4.0GPA.
Along the way, shewon scholarships from theIrrigation Foundation, theOhio Landscape Associa-tion, the Ohio Nurseryand Landscape Associa-tion, Proven Winners,STIHL and the Tree Re-search and Education En-dowment (TREE) Fund,among others.
The 24-year-old alsoreceived a PresidentialScholarship andKeyBank HispanicScholarship through theCuyahoga Community
College Foundation.“These scholarships
have meant so much,” Ms.Hernández said. “For some-one to see potential in me…that’s just an incredible feel-ing. You work harder know-ing that people believe inyour abilities.”
Ms. Hernández enrolledat Tri-C in 2016, two yearsafter graduating near thetop of her class at GreenHigh School near Akron. Adebilitating illness that re-quired surgery created thegap in her studies.
Her long recovery ledMs. Hernández to Tri-C’sEastern Campus in High-land Hills, where she couldstart taking classes a shortdrive from home.
An opportunity toshadow a horticulture classat the campus introducedher to the College’s PlantScience and LandscapeTechnology program. Thefield meshed her interest inscience with a love of beingoutdoors.
She immediately ex-celled in the nationally rec-ognized program. Her suc-cess in the classroombrought get-your-hands-dirty internships withWilloway Nurseries inAvon and Hemlock Land-scapes in Geauga County.
One of her instructors,Anna De Toro, then pointedher toward an opportunitywith the research divisionof Davey. She currently
works as a lab assistantfor the Kent-based treecompany.
“Tri-C has done won-ders for me,” Ms.Hernández said. “Peopleat the College alwayspushed me to be better. Iknew I had their sup-port.”
Ms. Hernández sharedher Tri-C story from thestage Dec. 17, 2019 atthe College’s Fall Com-mencement, where sheserved as studentspeaker. Classmates se-lected her for the honor.Nearly 1,800 studentsgraduated in addition toMs. Hernández.
Following graduation,she intends to continueher studies at The OhioState University to pur-sue a bachelor’s degreein sustainable plant sys-tems with an emphasisin horticulture. Ms.Hernández earnedenough in scholarships tocover her first year at OSU.

El turismo es uno de lossectores más dinámicos dela isla con ingresos porunos 3.000 millones dedólares anuales y seconvirtió en el foco deatención de las políticasde la administración delpresidente estadounidenseDonald Trump, cuyoobjetivo es asfixiar laeconomía cubana parapresionar un cambio demodelo político.
Justamente el martesentró en vigor laprohibición de Washing-ton para que las líneasaéreas procedentes deEstados Unidos aterricenen destinos diferentes aLa Habana, como lovenían haciendo.

NUEVA YORK (AP):La primera película queGreta Gerwig vio en uncine fue “Muppets TakeManhattan” (“Losmuppets toman NuevaYork”). Cuando terminó,sus padres no podíanencontrarla, había salidocorriendo al frente de lasala para poner sus manosen la pantalla.
“Pensé que podíameterme en ella”, diceGerwig.
Como cineasta, Gerwiga menudo ha estado enpantalla o fuera de ella. En“Frances Ha” de 2012, quecoescribió, hizo el papelde una bailarina de 27 añosde Sacramento que seasegura una posición enNueva York—una historiano muy distinta a la suya.Su debutsemiautobiográfico comoúnica directora, “LadyBird” de 2017, es unaespecie de precuela de“Frances Ha”, transcurreen una escuela secundariaen Sacramento con unajoven con ambicionesartísticas.
En su más recientepelícula, “Little Women”(“Mujercitas”), Gerwigadaptó la novela de LouisaMay Alcott de 1868 sobrelas hermanas de la familiaMarch, pero tambiénañadió nuevos niveles designificado que no estánen el libro. Jo March
(interpretada por SaoirseRonan en el filme), laaspirante a escritora, erade por sí una versión deAlcott, que ajustó para queencajara con las demandasdel público. Alcott leencontró un marido parael final del libro, pero luegodeseó que Jo hubieraterminado siendo “unasolterona literaria”.
En la versión de Gerwig,la séptima de “Mujercitas”en la gran pantalla, Jo seconvierte en una síntesisdel personaje, de Alcott yde Gerwig, llevando lalucha de una mujerescritora del siglo XIX enNueva Inglaterra al tiempopresente.
En un ventoso día deotoño el mes pasado,Gerwig se sentó con la APen Tribeca para discutir,con una taza de té, lasmuchas capas en su“Mujercitas”. La películase estrena en Navidad enEstados Unidos.
AP: Cada fotogramaestá tan lleno de vida en“Mujercitas”. ¿Cómo lediste tanta vitalidad?
Gerwig: No quería quefuera hermoso a costas deser real. Pero sí quería quese sintiera como que unodeseaba saltar y vivir ahí ocomerse el filme.Recuerdo que traté deexplicarle eso aliluminador y me dijo,“¿Que quieres qué?” Le
dije, “Quiero que elpúblico quiera comérselo.Quiero que se sienta queestá volando a lavelocidad de la vida”.
AP: La película tieneuna linda conexión con“Frances Ha”, queincluye una escena memo-rable en la que corres porNueva York. “Mujercitas”comienza con Jocorriendo por la ciudad.
Gerwig: Durante miinvestigación de LouisaMay Alcott me tropecé condel dato de que era unacorredora. Corría todos losdías por los bosques deConcord. De hecho, rodéun montón de tomas deSaoirse corriendo por elbosque, pero noterminaron encajando enla película, lo cual meentristece. Pero pensé: quéperfecto. A Louisa MayAlcott le encantaba correry yo puedo hacer esto y esalgo que vale comentar alpie de página y es tambiénexactamente algo quesiempre me ha interesado.Se sintió de lo másmoderno capturar a unamujer más rápida de loque pensamos que tienenpermitido moverse.
AP: ¿Cómo explicaríasla relación que sentisteentre tú y Jo?
Gerwig: Me interesabahacer algo cubista y quehonrara este caleidoscopiode autoría. Parte de lo que
quería hacer con laconstrucción era encontraral autor en todas partes —encontrar al autor como Jo,encontrar al autor como yo,encontrar al autor comoSaoirse. Hay todo estedesdoblamiento de seres.Es Louisa escribiendo a Jo.Soy yo escribiendo a Louisaescribiendo a Jo. Es Saoirseinterpretando a Jointerpretando a Louisainterpretando mis diálogos.Hay comunicación entrenosotras cuatro. Los( f i l ó s o f o s )t r a scenden t a l i s t a s . . .pensaban de esa manera.Walt Whitman dijo, “Yocontengo multitudes”.
AP: Tus personajesparecen más cercanos ati. Estás viviendo la vidaque ellos aspiran.
Gerwig: Sí, ípuede queeso sea verdad! Aunquepuedo darme el lujo dehacer películas, que es loque siempre quise hacer,la conexión más profundapara mí siempre será conla persona que queríahacer eso, no la personaque lo está haciendo. Y lagente del espectáculo engeneral, uno tiene queconstruir un castillo denuevo cada vez. Existe esasensación de que no haygarantías de que alguienvendrá. Uno es unamáquina de sueños, unamáquina de humo, así queestá presente la sensaciónde: no sé si nada de esto esreal. Supongo que sóloquiero decir que meidentifico más con laluchadora, todavía. Y aún
no puedo creer que puedohacer esto del todo. Sientoque me estoy robandoestas películas, quealguien me va a tocar elhombro y me va a decir,“disculpe, señora, ¿puedeacompañarnos? Usted noes una directora”.
AP: Pero obviamenteestás hecha para esto.
Gerwig: Me encanta.Lo amo tanto. Más quecualquier otra cosa quehaya hecho, de principioa fin. Todavía me sientocomo una cineasta joven,aunque tengo 36 años,aunque he estadohaciendo películas de unamanera u otra por 15 años.Todavía siento que estoycomenzando, con suerte,para hacer la obra quelograré hacer.
Gerwig comparte como aumentó la vitalidad de “Mujercitas”Por JAKE COYLE, Associated Press
