She/Her

Samantha Galarza (she/her) is a SAG-AFTRA screen actress, writer, performance artist, and educator from Jersey City, NJ. As an art-ivist, her work explores queer identity, femmephobia, intergenerational trauma, migration, internalized racism, substance abuse and policy that negatively affects historically marginalized communities. After a very heavy year of intense caretaking, she’s at the Action Lab because she needs some uninterrupted time to write a script that she’s working on and just breathe.
