Puerto Rican born & raised in Spanish Harlem, NYC. TV producer, actress, director and editor. Survivor-advocate triumph lives trauma, music a memory into documentary. Very gifted and passionate,
Maribel Ramos Brooks is a Puerto Rican–born and raised from Harlem. A filmmaker, television producer, actress, and salsa instructor whose life’s work is rooted in resilience, storytelling, and service. Raised in East Harlem amid domestic violence and emotional neglect, she transformed personal trauma into purpose, later finding healing through music, movement, and the art of filmmaking. After surviving abuse and living in a women’s shelter, she began volunteering to help other women reclaim their voices, an experience that deeply shaped her creative mission. Maribel went on to become a television producer, converting her own home into a working studio, and now creates intimate, socially conscious documentaries that explore mental illness, father–daughter relationships, forgiveness, and generational healing—using her own story as a bridge for others to feel seen, heard, and less alone. Music is her way of self-expression.
