Chloé & Valentina

Bonus Track: Speak Dreams Manifesto

In June 2020, Franco-Brazilian-American, creator-writer-actress-entrepreneur, Inès Schinazi, who plays Chloé Levy in the series, quit her dream job. The reason for leaving a great job in a global Pandemic? Listening to a tiny whisper she had always ignored. The whisper said something like “You should be doing more.” While searching for her next step, words flooded Inès and eventually became “The Speak Dreams Manifesto.” The Manifesto sparked the idea for Inès’ Media and Entertainment Company, Speak Dreams, which she co-founded with Daniela Afonso. The text also inspired “The Speak Dreams Mentorship Program,” which connected 84 women across Brazil and the world in 2020, with the goal of turning their most ambitious career-related dreams into reality. The program was a success in forging meaningful and long-lasting connections across different cultures and disciplines, and also made many big dreams come true, celebrating female ambition! Nineteen of these real women share a bit of their amazing stories in Season 1 of “Chloé & Valentina.” Inès Schinazi and Daniela Afonso are the creators and also play Chloé and Valentina, respectively, in this dramedy series which blends fiction and reality.
