About this listen

April Hernandez Castillo is a Hollywood actor you may know from her unforgettable role as Eva in Freedom Writers alongside Oscar-winner Hilary Swank, or from her appearances on Law & Order: SVU, Gossip Girl, and Showtime’s Dexter. But beyond the screen, April is an author and speaker who has spent more than a decade traveling the country, sharing her story with audiences from college campuses to juvenile detention centers.

Her book, Embracing Me, chronicles her journey through resilience, forgiveness, and healing after experiencing intimate partner violence as a teenager — and the strength she discovered in reclaiming her voice.

She joins us for a conversation that is honest, courageous, and deeply needed.
