PS: Both you and your dad have been very outspoken about family separations. What are your conversations with him on that topic like?
PR: I mean, family separation is awful, but exactly what the president said he would do. So we've been talking about this for years. Every day it's a constant attack. Every day we get what [Trump] promised. The one thing that I think we can do in this moment where everyone feels very helpless is try and lift up other people's stories, and try to give voice to those that typically don't have that platform. That's a lot of [what] I've learned from my dad. I come from more of the political space, but we have to find more creative ways to tell these stories, on different platforms, to reach young Latinas. Then at mid-terms, they will go to vote.
PS: While Latinx is a specific identity, at the same time, it can be very broad. Is part of your mission through this series to bridge the gaps in these different segments that population?
PR: Yes, exactly. I think one of the beauties of the Latinx community is how diverse we are. We speak different languages, our skin is different colors, we come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. And I think that is beautiful — but it's also hard. Because it means that it's harder to unite us within the community.
The point of Latin-X is to show that these are stories of everyone who has traditionally [felt] left out of the term Latina. You can be afro-Latina, you can be poor Latina, you can be undocumented Latina, you can be an English-speaking Latina. This is a platform for you. And that, to me, is huge. Because we're millions. If someone knows a magic formula to unite young Latinas, that is how you win elections, that is how you win audiences, that is how you win tomorrow.
