In the short film “Keep Dreaming,” Jennia Fredrique Aponte delivers a passionate spoken‑word monologue. She declares that every dream starts with a dreamer and shares her personal vision of becoming a WNBA champion within ten years. She confronts the stereotypes she’s faced—being told she’s too short and that Latinas don’t play basketball—asserting that giving up lets others win. Her message is a rallying cry for girls worldwide to keep dreaming, stay authentic, and persevere. She thanks NBA star Stephen Curry and actress Storm Reid for the opportunity to create and direct the piece, and ends with a brief foreign‑language phrase, underscoring a global, inclusive appeal.

Every dream begins with a dreamer. My dream is to inspire girls all over the world. In 10 years, I see myself in the WNBA winning a championship. They said you're playing the wrong sport. You're never going to make it. You're too short to be a basketball player. Latinas don't play basketball. The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win. Be you. Keep going. Keep dreaming. Be amazing.
Hey world, what's up? I'm Jania Fredrika Ponte. I just have to thank Stephen Curry and Storm Reid for giving me the opportunity to create and direct such an inspiring piece. I think you're gonna love it as much as I do, if not more. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
