Elena from Netflix's One Day at a Time has always been one of our favorites. The teenager, played by Isabella Gomez, is one incredibly woke young woman who isn't afraid to speak her truth. Throughout the show's three seasons, Elena has had so many relatable moments — not only because she was so open about her life as a lesbian Latina, but because she certainly didn't believe you need to be asked your opinion before giving it. Even though Netflix has pulled the plug on the sweet family series after just three seasons — which led fans to give them a very passionate piece of their minds — the spirited Latina will always be our queen of #keepingitreal. Check out some of her best moments ahead!
