TRUTH

THIS IS THE YEAR WE CHOOSE CLTRE.
NOT AS A TREND.
NOT AS A TALKING POINT.
AS A WAY OF BEING.

CLTRE IS COURAGE IN PRACTICE.
CREATIVITY IN MOTION.
PURPOSE, REIGNITED.
IT CHALLENGES COMFORT.
BREAKS PATTERNS.
INVITES US TO GO FURTHER —
WITHOUT LOSING OURSELVES.
FOR THREE IMMERSIVE DAYS, WE GO IN.

CLTRE INSIDE.
WHERE PLAY DISRUPTS FEAR.
WHERE BURNOUT LOSES ITS GRIP.
WHERE SELF-DOUBT NO LONGER LEADS.
THEN WE GO OUT.

CLTRE OUTSIDE.
WHERE LEADERSHIP TAKES SHAPE.
WHERE REINVENTION FINDS ITS VOICE.
WHERE STORIES MOVE PEOPLE — AND SYSTEMS.

THIS IS THE HIVE.
WHERE IDEAS COLLIDE.
WHERE CLTRE IGNITES PURPOSE.
WHERE THE FUTURE IS CO-CREATED.

COME READY.

REIMAGINE CLTRE.

FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

Comedian, Actor and Writer
Aida Rodriguez is a comedian, actor and writer. Lauded by Esquire Magazine as “raucously funny,” she has become a favorite with fans and critics alike. With her first hour standup special now streaming and her own TV series in development, both at HBOMax, Aida is bound for the comedy stratosphere.

In November 2021, Aida’s first hour standup special Fighting Words premiered on HBOMax. Additionally, Rodriguez is developing her own half hour comedy series with HBOMax based on her own incredible life story, which includes surviving two kidnappings, sexual abuse, and a period of homelessness. Co-written and Executive Produced by Rodriguez, Chris Case (Showtime’s Flatbush Misdemeanors) and Nastaran Dibai (Netflix’s Dear White People), the project examines the struggle of a comedian (Rodriguez) who is trying to kick start a career while raising two very different teenagers on her own over multiple time zones.

In addition to her TV projects, Aida hosts her own podcast, Truth Serum, an interactive weekly wrap-up show covering the week’s hottest topics, where inclusivity and diversity are the standard, not an initiative.

A longtime favorite on the standup circuit, Aida was a finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and has been featured on several comedy fan-favorite TV series, including Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar, HBO’s Pause with Sam Jay, and TBS’ Tournament of Laughs. She tours the country performing her distinct brand of poignant and insightful comedy to sold out audiences, inviting her longtime fans to laugh hard, think hard, and feel hard.
