LATINA AUTHOR ‘DISAPPOINTED’ WITH EUR FEEDBACK: Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez doesn’t understand all the race hate for Martin Chase.

Always the vocal woman. I wish she still had a blog.

“In a letter to EUR, Valdes-Rodriguez said she was disappointed with some of the negative comments in the feedback section directed at Martin Chase for taking on a Hispanic-helmed project. The author wrote:

When The Hollywood Reporter this week announced my deal with legendary film producer Debra Martin Chase to turn my bestselling novel The Dirty Girls Social Club into a movie, along with producer Nely Galan, I was overjoyed.

It marked not just my book making it to the big screen, and my first foray into the world of screenwriting. It was also a landmark collaboration between a seasoned African-American woman producer (Martin Chase) and two newcomer Hispanic women producers (me and Galan) in the white, male-dominated world of American film.”*
