Cara Santana: New Movie, New Fashions, and a Passion for Justice

Actress Cara Santana is opening up about her clothing line, her hot new drama "Be the Light," and some of the issues on everyone's minds this election season, all in her Lapalme cover story.

In the issue, out now, Santana talks about protesting with Black Lives Matter in L.A., and helping to clean things up in the wake of opportunistic looting. "Going out during this modern-day civil rights movement, having my voice heard, and standing in solidarity and being one of many in towering numbers, it's just something I didn't hesitate to think about —it comes naturally. I think the great shift that we see occurring is the recognition that there needs to be change, and it's so long overdue."

Santana, who is Team Biden, also urges everyone to vote on Tuesday — if they haven't already voted early. "I choose to vote because together, we're more powerful than we are separate and apart."

Like so many others, she is looking forward to closing the door on 2020! "They say divorce, death, and moving are the three most stressful things you can do in life, and I'm doing all three of them right now, at this moment... I'd like to find my new space and start 2021 with an optimistic outlook towards the future."

Part of what she has to look forward to is her fashion brand, the Cara Santana Collection, which is selling on her website.

She is also excited about her starring role in the new faith-based film "Be the Light," saying, "It's nice to see it come out during this time because I feel like people need entertainment that's hopeful, optimistic, light, sweet, and fun, and that's exactly what this film is."

"Be the Light" is on VOD now.
