As an arts advocate and supporter, Carlota advises and raises money for startups that promote women, creativity and art while also developing her own creative enterprises, including a project she recently developed and sold to HBO and currently producing three projects in development. In her role as co-founder of LACaKe, a lifestyle media and culture brand with actress Kelly Lynch, she focuses on promoting the work of emerging female artists and BIPOC-owned brands.
