Award-Winning Actor and Producer, Edna Lee Figueroa


by Fey

And then there are actors who are activist, living their truth onstage, onscreen, and in the rallying streets. Edna Lee Figueroa, a SAG-AFTRA transplant from Puerto Rico, began living the dream at home and then in the grit of the NY theatre and indie movie scene. And then her anxiety hit harder, and she uncovered a secret she’d hidden away, even from herself, and found herself in the thick of things back in Puerto Rico, advocating for change. 

WOPH catches up with this tremendously courageous and accomplished returning guest, and reveals how truly communally pivotal her past few years have been. The Women of Power Hours continues The Conversation about the epic sociocultural experiences of Women in the world. 


Host: Fey Ugokwe, Esq.; Guest: Edna Lee Figueroa.

This Noisy Planet

by Fey Ugokwe This world is full of noise and some people live to bring it to you—swooping in, trying to peck at your head with their upside down conceptions of you. And they can be so cool/casual on approach…or not…be they bestie or enemy, blood fam or just some mouthy stranger buzzing past you in the planetary streets. Some are self-esteem hunters so talented that they only need tap one pinhole into your mindset to make your whole sense of youness crack, splinter, break. My  🇬🇾 Grandmum used to say that they’re addicts, like any other—but that their fix is (paraphrasing here) the energies of pain, agony, and strife generated by others as they fall. She also said they can smell you and all your vulnerabilities from across a crowded room…yeah, that part. So keep your wits about you as you navigate all the spaces on this globe, my friends—energy shields up (i.e. protecting your peace), positive thoughts activated, and remembering *who and what* you are (energy lovingly transferred in
