Gina Rodriguez on Representing Latinas: "I Use My Voice to Make People Feel Like They Belong"

PS: You're a little bit of an advice-giver on Twitter. You've helped fans figure out how to study for finals, break out of their shells, and even figure out what to make for breakfast.

GR: My parents were very influential on why I look at life optimistically, and I’ve always wanted to give back what my parents have given to me. I take an hour or two a day and interact with the people that not only support my career and are the reason for my dreams coming true, but also actually think that my advice is worth something. When someone is giving you that honor, I take it very seriously. I don’t just tweet back crap. I tweet what my father and mother would have told me or what I would tell my niece or nephew or, one day, child.
