Ep. 11: On Finding Home | Wendy Mateo

In this episode of What It’s Like To Be Here, I’m joined by actor, producer, director, creator, mama, wife, and my hermana del alma, Wendy Mateo.

What began as a writing assignment turned into a lasting friendship rooted in Latinidad and shared experience. Wendy reflects on what brought her to Chicago, how the city became home, and how her creative eye for storytelling evolved along the way.

We also talk about her understanding of the universe, alignment, and a full-circle moment in her journey: directing the upcoming stage production of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, playing at the Goodman Theater.

Follow Wendy and Teatro Vista for more.
