The New Elizabeth: How my normal lesbian character was made pathological for Hollywood | Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
The old Elizabeth: Diana Mina, the first Afro-Colombian Miss Bogota in real life; she resembles the squeaky clean all-American beauty I imagined monogamous, Christian Elizabeth to be.
The New Elizabeth: In Luisa's script she is no longer black, now described as "sizzling" hot, and a whoring bisexual no one can trust.
Today we will discuss the way my average, healthy, normal lesbian character, Elizabeth Cruz, was possibly and probably (can’t say) not only de-Africanized (described only as “a sizzling Colombian” in the script) for the TV adaptation of my bestselling novel, THE DIRTY GIRLS SOCIAL CLUB, by Luisa Leschin and Ann Lopez in a development deal with NBC, but also how her sexuality was intentionally made pathological.
