## Resource

Whether it’s writing scripts, producing short films, waitressing or being crowned a beauty queen, our reigning Miss Peru Karla Bacigalupo, is doing what it takes to get her acting and producing careers off the ground. Originally from Lima, Karla moved to the US to study acting and producing at UCLA. In this episode Karla shares how she went from the corporate world to acting, how her relationship navigated an international move and two ambitious personalities, what the contestants in beauty pageants are really like, and what she found most challenging about immigrating.

ABOUT THE HOSTS: Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time. The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
