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

Pascual-Peña always knew she wanted to be an artist and is grateful to her mom for supporting her, even when the rest of her family didn't always understand. She says she "has a lot of grace" for them, knowing how hard it is for immigrants to take the types of risks inherent to an artistic career. For example, she was raised to always put education first so it was a big deal when she decided to take a break from college and "give 110% to acting." But it paid off with her booking the role of Lucy in Amy Poehler's Moxie, a Netflix film that came out earlier this year.
