In The Spotlight

Alisa Valdez-Rodriguez

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez is a woman who wears many hats. Most recently, "bestselling, groundbreaking novelist" has been the dominant hat. Entertainment Weekly named her a breakout literary star. Latina magazine named her a Woman of the Year. Hispanic Business magazine has twice named her among the 100 most influential Hispanics in the nation. And now, Time magazine has named her one of the 25 most influential Hispanics in America, alongside George Lopez, Bill Richardson, Jennifer Lopez and others.

Her bestselling novel, "The Dirty Girls Social Club," is being adapted for the big screen by veteran black female producer Debra Martin Chase. 

Chase (the producer of Princess Diaries) is teaming up with producer-writer Nely Galan (also the former president of entertainment at the Telemundo network) to film up The Dirty Girls, a novel by Rodriguez.

"Dirty Girls" is about six Latina women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds navigating their careers and relationships.
