I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

Julia Reyes isn’t the perfect Mexican daughter. She’s a bold Chicago teen facing grief, tradition, and mental health struggles. Through writing, she finds strength - and reminds us our dreams matter.

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter is raw and powerful and the UTEP Department of Theatre & Dance is bringing it to the stage October 24th through November 2, 2025.

Here to tell is all about it is Director, Adriana Dominguez.

Originally Broadcast on October 11, 2025
