Saved by the Bell's Alycia Pascual-Peña on the Importance of Afro-Latinx Representation on TV

When she was 6, Pascual-Peña's mom moved her out of the Bronx to Dallas, TX. There she looked around and realized, "I'm everything these people hate. I'm Black. I'm Latina. I'm outspoken." But that didn't stop her. By the age of 13, she was back in the Bronx. Similar to her character Aisha, who gets bused to the affluent Bayside, Pascual-Peña went to high school in Westchester, which she noted is "one of the most affluent counties in the country… I learned very quickly, these are not my people."
