The Power of Representation with Crystal Roman

On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with the incredible Crystal Roman—actress, director, and founder of the Black Latina Movement—for a real and open conversation about growing up as a Black Latina in New York, career pivots, and what it means to challenge stereotypes both on stage and in real life. Crystal shares her unique experience navigating culture, colorism, and identity in a city as diverse as NYC, and how her background inspired her to create powerful art that highlights the richness of Black and Brown stories. Whether you’re here for the inspiring journey, the behind-the-scenes peeks at theater life, or just want to hear about some delicious coffee and cacao rituals—this episode is packed with gems!
