Women Excel Yesenia
Yesenia De Casas
Yesenia was born on the Halloween of 1997 in the Kaiser on Sunset blvd. Growing up in the inner city is where they discovered their passion and appreciation for the arts through the non-profits they attended. Although they could never stick to one medium, they decided to pursue writing and film. At 17, they were admitted into the Ghetto Film School LA Fellows program where they realized the power of “bossing up” and plainly owning and honing skills until they became talents. Now after graduating from the Fellows program, they work freelance as a Producer/Director. Since then, they have attended both the Toronto Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival on writing based scholarships, and made lifestyle content for street wear brands. They are currently majoring in Sociology at Pasadena City College with prospects of transferring. In their down time, they skate, dance, draw, and study holistic health.
