ABOUT ADRIANA BRIFF
After receiving her degree in Social Communication in her native Argentina, Adriana Briff started her journalism career at the local newspaper Diario Democracia where she worked for two years. When the newspaper collapsed amidst the economic downturn that accompanied the final months of Alfonsín’s presidency, she made the decision to come to the United States.
In 1998 Adriana became a mother. Her son Dante, now 24, has non-verbal autism and has been without a program since the start of the pandemic. From the beginning of the pandemic to the present, Adriana’s main job has been to take care of Dante, providing situations to help him socialize and feel included in the community.
Dante was diagnosed with severe autism at 18 months old since then she has been completely dedicated to learning about autism and special education techniques to help him to develop language and social behaviors.
In the last four years, Adriana started publishing a column about autism called “Chronicles from Autism” in the digital newspaper Hispanicla directed by Néstor Fantini and Gabriel Lerner. At the same time, she was also published in Argentine newspapers such as Página 12 Rosario, Revista Brando de La Nación, RevistaRea and Revista Barullo.
Three years ago, she became part of the The Feminist Collective Las Pibas de California, to advocate for woman rights.

ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
