#170: Marianna Burelli - Dream HUGE

Marianna Burelli is an actor and environmentalist. She has
recently made her U.S. debut this year in Disney Channel’s
highly anticipated original series “Ultra Violet & Black
Scorpion.” The comedy series follows Violet, an everyday
Mexican American teen who is chosen by a magical luchador mask
which transforms her into Ultra Violet, a superhero fighting
crime. Marianna shines on the show as Nina, Violet’s mother (whom
is kept in the dark about her daughter’s superhero powers) and
principal of her middle school, masterfully juggles both
responsibilities. 


Marianna may be best known in Latin America for her dramatic
portrayal of “Natalia Velasco” for three seasons in the hit
series “Paramedicos,”. Her Additional television credits include
Netflix’s “Ingobernable” and “La Jenni Que Yo Conocí,”. On the
film front Marianna starred as Marcela in the 2018 comedy “Loca
Por El Trabajo.” Her portrayal earned her the
prestigious Best Up and Coming Actress award from
Canacine. She also appeared in the 2017 feature “How to Break Up
with Your Douchebag” which became Mexico’s highest grossing
comedy upon release. Other lead roles include Monica in “El Que
Busca Encuentra” (2017) and Laura in “Cindy La Regia”
(2020). 


When Marianna isn't on set filming, she uses her voice
and talent to fight for environmental justice. She is the
co-creator of AMAI, a 100% natural, sustainable and plastic-free
cosmetics line available in Mexico and the U.S.


We chat about being an EMT, being an established star
in Mexico and then moving to LA, her sustainable business,
Hollywood mind games, identity and belonging, teachers and
mentors, living in Swaziland (Eswatini) at 15/16 and learning
to relax again.



The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well! So
