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

PS: What's the best advice you've ever gotten from your parents?

GR: My father always used to say to me: “Gina, if you never lie, you never have to remember anything.” Honesty is very much a freeing place to live in. I’ve always been honest with my past, who I am, who I desire to be, with my flaws, with my fears. I know that everyone that’s around me is there for who I am, and that’s the best feeling in the entire world. I'm happy to be accepted in this industry for being me — for my weight, for what I look like, for my ethnicity.
