Diane Guerrero Achievement

In 2016, Guerrero released In the Country We Love My Family Divided, a memoir about her parents being detained and deported when she was 14. The book was written by Michelle Burford and published by Henry Holt and Co. A drama based on her memoir was picked up by CBS, to be developed into a drama executive produced by Jennie Snyder Urman, Ben Silverman, and Paul Sciarrotta, with Snyder attached as the showrunner. Guerrero was initially set to play the lead. In 2017, CBS decided to pass on the project but was picked up by Fox. As of January 2018, no pilot for the series has been ordered.

Following the release of In the Country, We Love: My Family Divided, Guerrero also released My Family Divided, a memoir similar to her previous work but for younger children. One of the main reasons she wanted to cater this book to a younger audience is because she felt like kids who were in similar situations as her own had no knowledge of how to deal with it. In an interview with the Washington Post, she says “I never read anything close to my story. I had no reference point. I felt really alone.”

In July 2018, Guerrero joined the cast of the DC Universe series Doom Patrol as Crazy Jane. The series debuted in 2019. Since April 2018, Guerrero has hosted the Hello Sunshine podcast How It Is.

Diane Guerrero Quotes

1. “My work on Orange has taught me this: Human beings are not categorically bad because of their mistakes. They can learn from their errors and get back on track. No one should be forever written off because of one part of his or her history.”
2. “We don’t do all our growing up between birth and adolescence or even our twenties. If we’re fortunate, we never stop.”
3. “Our passions don’t just compel us; they can also heal us.”
4. “You’ve gotta be careful who you share your big dreams with. People often piss on them. Some will even talk you out of your aspirations, mostly because they’ve given up on their own.”
5. “Truth is, among low-wage earners busting their tails to make the rent, one’s feelings are seldom discussed or acknowledged. Emotional wellness is a First World luxury.”
6. “The day you finally start dealing with your past is the day you stop dragging it into the present.”
7. “Just as one moment can bring despair, it can also lead to a new beginning. A different life. A dream for moving onward and upward rather than backward.”
8. “The worst thing I could’ve done would have been to deny myself the opportunity because of fear or feeling like I didn’t deserve it.”
9. “That was one thing I could be sure of, that my mother loved me. Fuck anyone who tried to come between us.”
10. “In some ways, the heartache we feel for our loved ones is deeper, rawer, than any we could feel for ourselves.”
11. “The worst thing I could’ve done would have been to deny myself the opportunity because of fear or feeling like I didn’t deserve it. It was one of those times when I really saw the power of having a dream and making it come true, no matter the obstacles.”
