Rosa Lisbeth Navarrete was raised by strong and funny Peruvian womxn. At the age of five, Rosa's mother took her and her three year old sister on journey from Perú to Los Angeles to be reunited with her father. This experience informs Rosa's creative works, and gives her a unique perspective in the world. It influences her creative choices and collaborative projects. Rosa is able to tap into empathy, connection, and a sense of adventure. Her work has been described as storytelling with heart and humor - elements that ring true in her life.

Rosa is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley’s English/Creative Writing program, a 2021 Justice for My Sister BIPOC Sci-Fi Screenwriting fellow, and a recent Winning writer of the 2022 CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge.

Rosa was introduced to the entertainment industry at the age of eighteen through the nonprofit film school Inner-City Filmmakers. With their support, she landed jobs at Univision Network, Disney, and DreamWorks Studios with ColorForce, Inc. These jobs were incredible, and eventually she had to step away to follow her dream of being the first in her family to get a university degree.

After graduating from UC Berkeley with an English degree emphasis on Creative Writing & Dance Performance, Rosa grabbed her Canon camera and travelled to Turkey, Paris, Brazil, SLC, & New York to pursue independent documentarian and creative collaborations. This experience enriched her storytelling abilities as a writer, filmmaker, improvisor, and documentarian.

Rosa currently resides in Los Angeles, where she work as a Community Engagement Manager at Invertigo Dance Theatre and serves on the Casa 0101 Theater Board of Directors. Since returning to Los Angeles she has immersed herself in the theater arts and indie filmmaking world. She writes, acts, produces and directs with incredible emerging artists in the city.

Rosa favorite topics to write about are strong womxn, children with super powers, and underdogs. She collaborates on projects that empower BIPOC/Latinx(e) communities, as she is a strong believer that media representation matters. Media specifically, has the power to validate someone's existence in the world. Rosa is on a personal journey to investigate her unknown indigenous connection to Perú; a path she believes will make her a stronger mother, writer, and leader in her community. As she continues to develop her artistic voice, Rosa keeps herself aligned with the message that the arts should be accessible to all. She sends courage and love to all the shy spirits everywhere, who have a secret wild side. Thanks for visiting her site today. Keep in touch on IG/Twitter, @mizperu.
