Today we’d like to introduce you to Azul Chevreuil.
Hi Azul, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Tijuana B. C. Mex. I came to the United States around 14 years old, finished high school and then I got several degrees in Criminal Justice, Administration of Justice, law enforcement, Corrections, Bachelors of Arts in applied sciences and arts. yet I worked in different fields like car sales, furniture sales, loan officer, waitress, cocktail waitress, bartender, caregiver, life insurance sales, dancer, to be able to make it. I always wanted to do acting but never in my life I thought I would. I used to work three jobs, single mom, supporting my family so I never thought even going to college was possible yet it was. I worked hard and I made it happen. I did my first official acting job in 2012 and continue up til now. I had the absolute pleasure to be aired in several platforms like Telemundo, CBS, Amazon Prime, Tubi, BET and others. I also went on two tours around the USA with very talented and recognized Mexican comedians. I have been featured in some magazines like Maxim cover girl competitions, Fab40, Maxi and Blaze. I was also on a Vogue article for a movie I was part of. I might not be rich or famous but I have accomplished things I never thought I could and it is what’s important. We all got different paths and I’m proud of my accomplishments, no one can take them away from me, I did it while taking care of my family. I try my best and make mistakes like everyone else because I’m human and it’s ok because that’s exactly how it was supposed to be. God is with me always, and when times get hard I just think “this too shall pass” I got a lot to live and accomplish still. God is guiding me and if I ever get lost he puts me back in the right path!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Oh absolutely not, God determined I was supposed to have a lot of obstacles in my life and I just keep on showing him I got it and I’m standing in his grace. I grew up without a father, he was murdered many years ago, having to carry the load for my mom, sisters and nephews and becoming a mom at 18. I used to work 13-17 hrs a day, 3 jobs, full time school no financial aid because I wasn’t a citizen; it took me 25 years to become one. From low paying jobs, bad partners to being exhausted always. I decided to take a break from all that and becoming a dancer which was while difficult at first and not the fairy tale I thought it was to my saving grace. I was able to provide for my loved ones without being working seven days a week for as long as I remember, never had a day off, it was so hard at first but then I chose to love it and only see the positive. I was able to develop a relationship with my child, pay for his university, being able to provide for his school and him living in it. I’ve always taken care of my mom and I’m like the dad in my household still. Thanks to my dancing job I was able to take a shot at something I always wanted to do which is being an actress. I did a few gigs and I decided to try it full on but with the ingenuity I have still I got in “business” if I can call it that with the wrong people, I invested my money on what I thought was gonna be a breakthrough for me. I paid for a movie I got scammed out of. They took the money, asked me for more, actors were trying to scam me too, I had to let it go. They didn’t see the value on the great opportunity I had just given them; they got greedy and only thought of the money they could steal. I got taken advantage by other people as well and yes they stiffed me but I was the blessing. I have moved on from bad connections and just trying to live my life more private now. Incredible, but some people can’t see others trying to thrive; instead of trying themselves they just attack. It is up to us, on our response and behavior to determine our success. I am always blessed and will continue to forge a path in Jesus Christ . God is my guide and only truth. I had more losses, loved ones dying in the same year, other relatives along the way, betrayals left and right, the devil attacking but God is rebuilding and now more than ever I believe in him.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m an actress, I have been on a few movies like Sugar Mami, Tough Luv, American’t, Aftershock, Pitched Out, Starstruck, Mia and the Skeletons, night from hell, Ramona La Matona where I was actually scammed of my investment by supposedly professionals, well they were but professional thieves, furniture commercial, Famosos -Vision Latina and some shows like, Caso Cerrado, La Corte Del Pueblo, 12 Corazones, Judge Lauren Lake, Tengo Talento Mucho Talento, Lagrimita y Costel, El Palenque De Enrique Santos, etc. I also helped write and translate for some cases for court shows for Judge Cristina Perez and Juez Franco while we were shooting in Vegas season 1. I also been featured and in competitions in several magazines like Blaze, Maxim Covergirl, Euro Summer, Natural Beauty, Radiance, Workout Warrior, Centerfold, Maxi, Fab40, I know there is more I could accomplish and that there are people with way more success than me but I’m proud of my accomplishments even if some can perceive them as small. Some of these movies were and are on Amazon prime, Tubi, BET, CBS, Telemundo and others. No one can take that away from me, I did it on my own with hard work. I also did two USA tours with known Mexican comedians like Mario Bezares, Luis De Alba, Alejandro Suarez, Luis Manuel Avila, Gustavo Munguia, Olga Sana, Homerito, Pepe Magaña, Kompayaso RIP, Luis Barcelo, Roberto Cacharro, Homerito, El Hijo Del Pirrurris-Salomon Delgadillo, and Attorney Mario Davila who was the responsible for making one of the tours happened. They were fantastic we had so much fun and I will never forget that experience. I’m also very thankful to Armando Garcia from Extreme Entertainment LA for the support and his wife Eugenia Schmidt. I’m proud of everything even on the ones that were just on you tube like Love Crimes, Smoothneck, and Texas commercials. I’m proud of my trials too; even if I don’t get picked after I submit castings, I know there’s more I can do and I’m doing it at my own pace. I went through grieving for the loss of my beloved nephew we raised as ours, he was my child and will always be. I’m trying and healing at my own pace. I am pleased with what I have done even if things aren’t perfect. We all different, no one has the same path in life, we are just different stories and all of them are valid, I’m just a different person from others and that’s what makes us all magnificent. I choose God above all even if I never do one more acting gig again I choose God over everything. My family, loved ones and God.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Google, literally if not everything almost everything can be found and learned from different platforms or channels, videos on you tube, even TikTok. I love spirituality and while I do not have a favorite book or channel, I’m open to listening and discovering different ones. I even love to read the psalms and listen to prayings, attending live mass here and there. God is in me and in every one of us. It’s one thought away, always with us, within us. I love being able to find learning material as well in both languages, Spanish and English.
