Lisette Oropesa in the Times-Picayune

Chris Waddington from The Times-Picayune in New Orleans recently interviewed me about my upcoming performances of The Enchanted Island.

“If I could tattoo my weight loss on my forehead, I would do it. I’m proud about it and I talk about it,” Oropesa said. “At LSU I was popping out of a size 16 and weighed over 200 pounds. Starting around my 21st birthday, I’ve slowly lost about 80 pounds.”
