Messages to Alba

  • Thank you for portraying Ava so beautifully. She's one of my favorite characters of all time. She's made a pretty good impression on my toddler as well! And I am very proud to let her watch such an amazing strong female character and wanting to be like her.

  • Happy birthday Alba! Hope you have an amazing day. Thank you for continuing to be such a positive influence, you have the whole warrior nun fandom behind you!

  • You blew me away with your portrayal of Ava Silva! As a character, her drive to live and experience life to the fullest is inspiring. But the heart you put into her is what hit me to my core. In a world that judges us for wanting more and being bold about, your Ava is breathtaking and breathgiving. Thank you ❤️ Wishing you a Happy Birthday Alba! I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects and wishing you on-going success in all that you do. You got a lifelong fan here 😎

  • Hi Alba. Just want to say you're an amazing actor and I can't wait to see you in more roles in the future. Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day! :-)

  • Hi Alba, Happy Birthday 🥳🧡💫 I love you so much. I'm so glad that I got to watch Warrior Nun your character is in an inspiration to many and me being brave even though your scared, I hope you know that you are loved and supported by many. We miss you 😘 ❤.

  • Happy birthday Alba! I just hope you know you are loved and appreciated for who you are as a person and as an artist, not to many have the ability to express love, loss, happiness, joy the way you do. Ava is truly a gift for all of us, for me it's a reminder that I can enjoy the present, having hope for the future and loving unconditionally. I hope you have an awesome birthday and summer, may Ava Silva bless your days too. We love you so much 🥺❤️

  • Hi, I just want to say that I absolutely love you and your work. You are an amazing actress and seeing on any screen is always a pleasure. Being of Portuguese origin through my mom, seeing a Portuguese actress who I have traits in common with is heartwarming, emotional and inspiring since there are not enough Portuguese actors in big movies or shows. I hope you have the best birthday and the best life !

    @Eva_brll

  • Happy birthday, Alba 🌻 I hope you're always in peace & in good health: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. You're an inspiration, my inspiration. Not just your character as Ava Silva in Warrior Nun, but you as yourself. You inspire me to see things again, to pick up my camera back after I've lost interest due to my depression. When I feel overwhelmed with life & my depression hit me back, I remember your performance as Ava Silva when she run at the beach, wanting to live. Anyway, I hope you get more creative liberty & get to create more arts you desire in the future. Getting to see the world through your lens... I know it will be a magical experience. Again, happy birthday & may you forever in safety wherever you are & be loved by whoever you are with ❤️ xx, fizah.

  • I think you’re amazing and I just want you to know that even with all of the stupidity and hate out there, there is so much love and appreciation for you. There is so much of it, it’s overflowing in this fandom. I just hope you really feel that because you deserve to have that❤️

    @nope7070707

  • Hi Alba! Happy birthday or parabéns! I just wanted you to know that you are one of the most talented people I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. You have such a light! Never let that go. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

  • Bonjour, je désirais vous souhaiter un très joyeux anniversaire pour vos 26 ans. Je vous ai découverte à travers la série Warrior Nun. J'ai beaucoup apprécié votre jeu d'actrice et votre naturel. D'après les vidéos de bêtisiers et des coulisses, il semblait y avoir une très bonne ambiance et vous aviez l'air de tous bien vous amuser. Par la suite, je suis allée voir une robe pour Mrs Harris où je vous ai trouvé très élégante. Je ne suis pas très people et votre vie privée ne concerne que vous. Simplement, je vous souhaite réellement de vous épanouir dans tout ce que vous ferez, de garder ce petit brin de malice, cette petite flamme qui semble transparaitre. Soyez heureuse ( peu de gens le sont de nos jours ou oublie de l'être) c'est le plus beau vœu qu'on puisse vous faire. Je sais que ce message ne sera qu'un parmi d'autres mais cela me fait plaisir de vous écrire. J'ai hâte de vous revoir dans d'autres projets, films... Encore joyeux anniversaire. A bientôt sur le grand écran.

  • Hi, I don't know if you gonna read me or not, but I just want to tell you that I loved the way you acted in "Warrior Nun". I know that it is over since a while, but I just finished season 2. Kristina and you made me cry the entire 2 last episodes of season 2. And I'm now kind of obsessed with Warrior Nun. I first watch it in french (my native language) and I soon as I finished season 2, the next day I started it again from the beginning, but in english. The last time I loved a TV show that much, it was Xena Warrior Princess and it's over since 2001. By the way, Ava and Beatrice kind of remind me of Xena and Gabrielle. Ava is kind of naïve and innocent like Gabrielle was, and Beatrice is the ass-kicking pal that is there to protect her like Xena does. I love the chamestry Ava and Beatrice have. And every time I watch the kissing scene or the goodbye scene, I have chills and the emotions are coming back hard. But I do have one little minor complaint (very very very minor), we are missing promotional item. Like Kristina said in an interview, "we want more!" 😉 Everyone on the show is very talented, but you are my favorite. I hope that one day they'll be a season 3. And I hope to see you in more movies or series in a near future. In this life or the next! Dans cette vie ou la suivante! #savewarriornun P.S. sorry for the long text, but there is not a lot of people that understand my feelings about the show, so I had to let it all out.

    @BelandAnnick

  • Happy Birthday Alba!! Hope you're doing great, thank you for giving life to the Ava that we know and love today. When life feels a little sucky, I'll think about her and her want to live, to love and explore. I'll channel the inner Ava in me and dare to be brave. Life is full of ups and downs but it's too short to be stuck thinking about all the downs. Sending flying hugs to you, us Halo Bearers can't wait to see you in your future projects <3

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Alba! I hope these message give you an impression of how much you mean to us. Speaking solely for myself, words can never express how thankful I am that I discovered Warrior Nun and Ava Silva. So I wrote a small poem, in an attempt to put it into words. My gift to you, to thank you for the gift which is Ava Silva that you gave us. The way you brought that character to life; her strength, her joy, her pain — I saw so much of myself in her. And when I saw her wonder at being alive, how much it moved her and how determined she was to seize every moment, it brought back my own joy and my own wonder at the amazing gift of life. So thank you for that. Your portrayal of Ava Silva shows what a magnificent actress you are, and I am so excited to watch your career blossom and see what more you have to offer. Happy Birthday, Alba. I hope your day is filled with warmth, joy and love.

  • Dear Alba, First and foremost, happy birthday Alba! I hope you continue to have another year filled with success, love, and happiness! I wanted to take a moment and express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for your exceptional portrayal of Ava in Warrior Nun. Your talent and dedication truly shines through, making her character come to life in a remarkable way. There is nobody else who could have done a better job with this character other than you, and we’re all so unbelievably grateful that we get to see you continue to grow with this character and push her to new heights! Your portrayal of Ava was and will continue to be nothing short of extraordinary. The depth and complexity you bring to the role is so captivating and deeply moving. Your ability to capture the essence of the her emotions, struggles, and triumphs is truly remarkable. It was evident that you poured your heart and soul into the performance, and it continues to resonate with audiences on a profound level. Your incredible talent and skill as an actress are evident in every scene you appear in, not just with Warrior Nun, but with all the other amazing projects you’ve worked on so far as well. Your ability to embody the character's mannerisms, speech patterns, and unique traits is astonishingly authentic. You bring a level of nuance and subtlety to the role that makes Ava feel like a fully realized individual, and a person people can deeply resonate on such a personal level. Beyond your extraordinary acting abilities, I also wanted to take a moment to commend you for the way you have handled yourself as a public figure. Your grace, humility, and dedication to your craft are truly inspiring. You have become a role model for aspiring actors and actresses, and your work continues to inspire and touch the lives of many. You’ve also shown me that it’s okay to step back sometimes and focus on ourselves, and to never change who you are as a person no matter what everyone else around you says. Because of that, I have the upmost respect for who you are as a person, celebrity status aside. So thank you, Alba , for sharing your immense talent and passion with the world. I eagerly look forward to your future projects and witnessing the incredible heights your career will undoubtedly reach. Keep being unapologetically you, because people like you are what make the world a better place. Warm Regards, Mya Gonzalez

  • Happy birthday, dear sunshine incarnate. You've touched the hearts of so many people through your presence, and I am so excited to see your upcoming projects. Your talent is unmatched and unique in ways that no one else could hold a candle to. By finding Ava and Warrior Nun I've managed to meet so many new friends, and I've found myself more passionate about something than I ever have been before. You are such an inspiration in all that you do, and I send my personal thanks for sharing your talent with the world. You are destined for such great things <3. Enjoy your birthday! In this life or the next.

    @reagomyeggoo

  • Dear Alba, I don't really know what to say except thank you! Through your work as Ava you reminded me of a part of myself I thought didn't exist anymore. A part that wanted to live not just survive, a part that wanted to truly connect with people, a part that still saw beauty in the world. Many years ago I lost two of the most important people in my life. Since then I feel like I haven't really lived. You reminded me that there is still hope in this life or the next! Also I've never seen anyone with your acting skills in our generation, your brilliance is timeless. You remind me of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara or Audrey Hepburn! I really appreciate everything that you have given us and I hope that you know how special and extraordinary you are❤️ I also hope that you know how many people love and support you all around the world! I can't wait to see you again and again in every project you decide to take on! With love Mel

    @Jess92824394

  • Happy Birthday Alba! Alba Baptista's acting abilities were really allowed to shine in Warrior Nun because of the amazing script the writers created. The storyline really gave her a range of emotion to work with and she delivered in every single scene. Without both, the writers and Alba, Warrior Nun would not be what it is today!

    @Bloodmanor8

  • Happy Birthday Alba! Supporting writers and looking forward to more Warrior Nun :)

  • I think writers are the reason we have stories to tell in the first place so they should be accommodated accordingly. And, Alba is one of the most gifted actresses to come along in a long while. I find myself scouring the interwebs trying to find ways to watch past projects she's been in.

  • Just a little to show support to the WGA in honor of Alba Baptista’s Birthday!

  • I fully support the writers and have nothing but love and admiration to all who fight for better conditions in life.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALBA!

To honour the upcoming birthday of Alba Baptista, the multitalented lead actress who portrays Ava Silva in Warrior Nun, devoted Warrior Nun fans from Twitter have opted to launch this donation drive in conjunction with the OCS Newsletter birthday project being developed to show our love and appreciation.

As the sudden onset of WGA (Writers Guild of America) Strike brought to light the conditions under which so many in the entertainment industry were labouring, we felt that we should support the Warrior Nun cast, set and stunt crew, and screenwriters by giving back to them as much as they have given us through their amazing storytelling.

Through the many interviews and social media interactions with those involved in bringing Warrior Nun to life, we forged an even deeper connection to the show. It is for this reason that we have chosen The Entertainment Community Fund as the focus for this donation project.

Since its establishment in 1882, the Entertainment Community Fund has provided human services nationally for people who work in film, television, music, opera, radio and dance. They provide health and wellness, career, and housing services for entertainment professionals, ever mindful of the unique challenges of thriving and surviving in a sometimes unpredictable industry.

 

To verify the legitimacy of the organization we will be donating to, you may visit the following Social Media accounts:

This donation drive is set to a goal of $2,500 (now $5,000) and all proceeds will go to The Entertainment Community Fund to Support Film and Television Workers in honour of Alba’s birthday. We kindly ask that you share the details of this project using different media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. If you would like any additional information about this project, you may contact @ufcfan4life2 or @tardigradehuntr on Twitter.

Disclaimer: This project is not directly affiliated to Alba Baptista and her talent management agency, Subtitle Talent, and is purely voluntary and initiated by the fans to celebrate her birthday.

 

DEADLINE: July 12, 2023 

In conjunction with the fundraiser, we have set up a submission document for the fandom that will be featured on the warriornun.com website blog. Anyone can send a message to Alba and/or what her role as Ava in Warrior Nun means to them. We welcome any appropriate messages, fanart and/or video submissions.

Then on July 10, 2023, The OCS Newsletter will publish a special birthday edition. It will include some of the fandom’s submissions along with this fundraiser. Even if you can’t donate, please submit a message!

 

Let’s show our passion and dedication #WarriorNun style and make this a birthday Alba will never forget.

 

Update

Truly grateful to each and every one of you that have donated to this project. Not only have we Saved Warrior Nun but we have blown passed our $5,000 goal with over a week left. How does a $7,000 donation to the WGA Support Fund sound?

Update

Thank you to each of the 155 donors to the WGA Support Fund for Alba's birthday project. The fundraiser is official closed. We raised $7,250 and that is the amount that will be sent. I am personally covering the $250 processing fee. I will add an update next week once everything has been sent.
