I had a fun filled conversation with the actress and filmmaker Giovannie Espiritu. Born in the slums of Tondo, Philippines and later immigrated to California, her life has been full of colors and textures to say the least.
After learning that her step-dad had molested her, her mother expelled her out of the house, forcing her to move in with her grandparents. After some time and the passing of her grandfather, her mother dragged her back to the Philippines, where she felt lost looking for a sense of belonging. This led her to join a doomsday cult, which caused her to suffer from depression. Her mother then sent her back to the US, where she worked and lived with a couple who were elders of her church as an all-around caregiver. The couple eventually coerced her to marry a church member who was 17 years older than she was. Bored and friendless, she used to talk to telemarketers, till one of them suggested that she try voice over. She took a chance out of desperation, and it paid off as it led her to a career in acting, filmmaking, and coaching actors.
