I've specifically decided to say no to projects that weren't advancing Latinos, that weren't showing us in a positive light, roles that were gratuitous and spreading untruths.

Acting is how I'll be able to change how Latinos are viewed in media and change how little girls see and talk about themselves.

I do not devalue the role of a maid or nanny, or the stereotypical roles that some members of our family have actually done to feed our families in real life.

Spreading the dominion of the kingdom of light is fulfilling destiny

This is an area that has been overlooked by the sector. The media is often seen in negative terms, but it can have a positive impact by extending the reach of worthwhile projects and ensuring more people hear about them.

There will be positive declarations on both projects. There's no question about that.
