Anatalia has performed everything from poetry, performance art, dance, and theatre, leading to the opportunity to travel to Texas, Arizona, New York, Tijuana, Mexico and all across California. Before she was comfortable on stage, she dedicated her free time to her first love, writing. Anatalia credits her creative writing journey to Barrio Writers, an immersive youth writing workshop series where she was first published as a teenager. She owes a big part of her success to her connection and commitment to community work. In theatre she's been a part of ensembles and led workshops with: Breath of Fire Latina Theatre Ensemble, TeAda Productions and Playback LA.
