Dulce Valencia is a multi-disciplinary artist from Guerrero, Mexico, based in Los Angeles. With a deep-rooted (and personal) passion for immigrant rights, Valencia has dedicated a significant portion of her career to advocating for comprehensive immigration reform and empowering civic participation through her work in political nonprofits. Her story has been featured on Lifetime’s Her America and Apple TV’s Dear… and 271 Films’ We Are Here. In her current role as the Senior Manager of Entertainment Engagement at Define American, Valencia plays a pivotal role in Define American’s work to humanize immigrant stories through her expertise in entertainment consulting and storyteller engagement. By collaborating with entertainment professionals, she ensures that immigrant narratives are portrayed with authenticity, nuance, and empathy. She unironically loves Telenovelas, which she believes serve as a testament to the power of storytelling in connecting people across cultures. Through her multifaceted approach to art, writing, and advocacy, Dulce Valencia hopes to help reshape the narrative surrounding immigrants and immigration.
