“The Waitress Song”
On family difficulties and on real life situations put into poetry or song.
“I think as artists, even things are now scars, and are no longer open wounds, we can still feel those scars. We can still remember that pain, remember those emotions. And we can use those scars, those ghosts of our pasts, to help others in their present.”
“That’s the healing process of art. It’s healing for me to write it, and it’s healing for me to perform it. And when I do perform it, it’s healing to others.”
On surrounding yourself with others who can critique what you do.

Renata shares a story about telling a guy when she was uncomfortable. Practical tips for women to assert no and deter harassment.
Shoutout to Subculture Coffee.
“Hey, it makes me uncomfortable. I need my space. Give me a little space.”
Acknowledge what he said, but restate. Use body language.
Don’t be flirty with your friend.
“If we all just started respecting each other, none of those issues would happen.” - Chunjay
Renata loves tacos! Mixed chicken and beef. “At-home Chipotle.”
On Puerto Rican and Italian food at home. On Renata’s mother. On Puerto Rico. On coqui frogs.
Snippet from “Closer Than You Think” from the Rumors of Our Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated.
