About Me


WWW.SISTEROUTSIDER.BIZ
WHAT IS SOE?
Sister Outsider is the latest venture by the team of Elisha Miranda and Sofia Quintero who have been collaborating on successful initiatives since 2000. They co-founded the nonprofit Chica Luna Productions as well as its signature project The F-Word which is training the next generation of women of color filmmakers. Elisha and Sofia also independently wrote, directed and produced two short films that have won critical acclaim on the festival circuit and have written several popular novels for Penguin, Random House and Simon & Schuster. Through Sister Outsider, they are currently developing a Latina ensemble TV series for the N as well as various stage productions.

Heroes:


Sister Outsider is the title of a collection of essays and speeches written by one of our heroines Audre Lorde. In her own words, she was a "black lesbian, mother, warrior, poet." But she was also an activist who used the power of art to challenge the "isms" and promote a more just society. Audre once wrote, "Poetry is not a luxury." We believe that literature, film, theatre and other popular media can inspire and provoke as well as entertain so we named our company Sister Outsider to honor the legacy that precedes us.
