María Gabriela de Faría (Superman, Animal Control) joins us this week for a powerful and open conversation about stepping into one of DC’s darkest roles while learning to embrace her own vulnerability. María talks about leaving Venezuela for Hollywood, the culture shock she faced, and the identity struggles that came with it. She opens up about how therapy and self-discovery helped her navigate grief, fear, and self-doubt, and what it means to play a character who channels pain into power. We also dive into her journey with mental health, her passion for representation, and why she believes true strength comes from owning the parts of ourselves we’re often told to hide.
