Chas Mina – Actor in “Los Secretos de Lucia” at Venevision
“Ersula is task oriented, a team player, a complete professional on all counts. I enjoyed her Chautauqua depiction of Mary McLeod Bethune, Florida Matron and Civil Rights activist. I had the pleasure of working with Ersula on a small, independent production not long ago and I can only hope that we will work together again. She dedicated her heart and soul to the production.”
