PS: What has been your experience when it comes to being a Latina in Hollywood?
DR: I have been very fortunate to have been instilled with a very hardworking mentality. I have confidence that I will get the roles I am meant to get and appreciate the ones I have. There is still a long way to go when it comes to women being represented in television and films, period. I do consider myself blessed and fortunate to be living and working in this era, and understand that we are in a way better place today than we were a decade ago. The power is in creating these roles and having our own people be supportive of our talent no matter what role we get to play. It's important to show Hollywood that Latinos have the support of their own in order to inspire the powers that be to allow more diversity in Hollywood. I hope we not only get the opportunity to play more leading roles, but also get the chance to write and tell the stories we want to tell.
