PS: Latina actresses, like Gina Rodriguez and Eva Longoria, always talk about fighting to open doors for other Latinas in Hollywood. Why is it important to you to represent the Latina community in movies and TV?
BS: I hope to follow the path of those amazing ladies, because there are doors that need to be opened. I was writing in my journal the other day in tears because I'm really starting to feel the weight of the situation we are in. It's difficult for me to book lead roles unless they specifically ask for Latinas. But I know eventually I will be a lead because of my charisma and presence and not because of any other factor. I hope we can get to that place sooner than later; we're ready for change, and I'll be ready when it arrives.
