Karla Ramirez is a star of the Bravo reality series Texicanas. She is a native of Brownsville, Texas, who has lived in San Antonio for the past 13 years. She is married to Manoli Zacharias, an entrepreneur who she affectionately refers to as her “Grexican” because he is half Greek and half Mexican. They own numerous enterprises together, including Hotel Discotheque, a thriving nightclub catering to San Antonio’s upper crust. They have two active boys and see each other as equals in their marriage, all while contributing their finest assets as parents in their daily lives. Her commitment is to her family and friends, and she feels that mutual respect is the key to every successful relationship.
Texicanas debuted on Bravo on May 7, 2019 and centres around a group of Mexican-American ladies residing in San Antonio, Texas. Penny Ayarzagoitia, Mayra Farret, Lorena Martinez, Anayancy Nolasco, Karla Ramirez, and Luz Ortiz, a glamorous group of sophisticates, attempt to manage their social life and the difficulties of having a family in this drama series. But it’s their shared experience of overcoming the hurdles of American culture while still honoring their ancestry and traditions that binds these ladies in a bond that goes beyond friendship.
In an unusual twist, “Texicanas” is presented from Penny Ayarzagoitia’s perspective as she recounts the circumstances that lead to relationships disintegrating and friends becoming adversaries. These Texicanas aren’t all drama; they have a true sisterhood and rely on one another for guidance and to keep each other honest. They’ll find any excuse to have a good time because they embody the true welcome attitude.
