Antonio is a writer, a published children’s book author, a professional storyteller, and a solo performance artist who graduated with an MA from Northwestern University. He has an active national and international touring schedule and he teaches writing and storytelling throughout the country. He can be heard as part of NPR’s Latino USA and has performed at The Kennedy Center and at The National Book Festival at The Library of Congress. So, yes, he’s very talented. But so are a lot of people. Antonio, however, has been able to take his talent and build a career as a full-time, self-employed artist successful enough to support himself and his family here in Los Angeles. I invited him on this Coffee Date to hear how he did it.
