Nominated for the Goya Awards as 'Best Newcomer', 'La Dani' received the Feroz Award for 'Best Supporting Actor' for her performance in the film 'Te estoy amando locamente', which portrays Seville in 1977 and the struggle for LGTBI rights in the midst of the Spanish Transition.

Her commitment to visibility and social change continues to be an inspiring example to the entertainment industry and society at large. "Being myself has brought me here.
