so much. gloria and gloria, that's so interesting because i think lot of us have had to, still deal with, that still have t living in both worlds. but dina, you were forced to embrace one identity and hollywood, right >> i feel like i was living in three worlds there was my world that i grew up in, also spanish speaking home, human parents, and the you go out to the world and i' speaking english, and i'm in the bronx, south bronx and then going into this industry as an actress, then nobody recognizes you as eithe one. there was no place for me as a latina, and then as a blac woman, i didn't identify as black woman because for me, it was cultural because of course, i present black, i'm a black women, i am also cuban when you are here in the unite states and they ask you, put you into a box, and you don' fit into the box, culturally i was different. it was not one that identified with, but to work, to survive, it was something that i had to learn. to then learn to be whatever black was. and then feel like i was alienating that other part o myself, that latina self it just kind of became i jed mind trick to keep myself from just being sad all the tim about not being able to full experience and express the entirety of myself >> i think that's ou superpower though, ultimately. the fact that we had thi discomfort i tell my students, my own people now, that freak out tha you have, that, what did you call it? jedi gays? >> my jedi mind trick. >> jedi mind trick, okay, th fact that we can be in tha space where it's just like, am i enough am i here? and this and by that? it's my spanish good enough? is my english good enough? whatever, that is ou superpower it is the fact that we can liv with that. >> but - >> there is also word for it >> it was the power to recognize. it >> code switching >> i just learned that and i feel like i could switch all the time i'm from the inner city of chicago. i code switch so that intercit stuff to, like, okay, yes, the property, to the hollywood thing and the boxes that the love to put this and i hollywood. >> you are talking about, is i prevalent in the latin community to the fact that our latina dad i not, you know, accepted or it' not talked about >> it's interesting for me t hear that because when i loo to media outside of, like, m home for representation, it wa women like you, very few onscreen, which was an african american television market where i couldn't piece togethe like, oh my goodness torres is her last game, wow growing up in the bronx, man of us are, you know, black and brown, but i just could not be that, you know i hoped that at some point, we can have, like, up and unpacking of, why is racism so embedded in letting that period, right? >> the legacy of the caste system >> if there's a whole history. you are talking about being th human condition, it's the huma condition of colonization. like, it is colonization tha still exists in our minds. right, so the caste system i something that has bee outlawed for centuries now, bu the colonizers still listen in our mind and tell us, you have to be lighter skin to be mor beautiful. the thing is, i don't think we realize what we are actually seeing we're still seeing that whit people are better than us an we are so inspiring to be white, and it is because of the caste system >> you are saying there's only one way to be latino, only one way to black, only one way, but, like, white people get to be all sorts of different things. our identity is very competitive because i am a immigrant, but i have friend who whose families have been i texas since their first -- they never crossed the border. >> i'm thinking, you know, i'm a real latina. identify as a real latina, right? my family came to this country as farmworkers, never went bac to mexico. -- did not go back to mexico an where i'm from in ohio, there' no question i am mexican when people see me, i' mexican. but when i went to chicago for college, that's actually when got more questions about whether i was mexican enough so, i feel like we have to confront ourselves on thes things as well >> yes, it's very much lik that but then you are talking about the media and how we are in box, so what's changing with that, gloria because, you know, come on gloria >> this is my sister, this i my sister. >> i won't do anything without this woman >> i won't do anything without this woman >> a lot of people are changing, i'm blessed to be in a - shining the spotlight on m change, but it is a lot of awesome young storytellers tha are out there that just need the opportunity. i mean, -- for this past year of latino shows is, like i've never seen because when we were startin one day at a time, i remembe going, my gosh, rita - it's coming and our future president is coming, it was, like, this is the moment we've been waiting for this moment >> the gloria started that, have to tell you every family was cuban on tv everybody was humid on tv. >> they wanted cubans afte that, it was great >> but i really feel like it was an exciting moment to then in promoting my new show wit love, all those shows were gone all the pendulum swung back. i feel like we really have t be so loud in this momen because i think that what is happening the that's beautiful is this cultural correction. people know that stuff has bee bad, now they're understanding oh, i guess racism still exists i think we were in this, i really think we were like, oh, obama's president, everythin is okay now. then we realized, no, they kin of got quiet for a second, the they got real loud so, we need to confront that like, this is a real thing let's talk about it, let's extend our arms to one another and say, we do have this thing in common, this thing that w cannot name. we do have it in common. how can we stand with each other and hold each other, uplift each other? >> oh my gosh, we can have a exchange of ideas without goin to fisticuffs. >> i desperately wanted to be mother, but what did that look like for me? >> did somebody say you need therapy or someone said no, yo need therapy >> no someone definitely said need their view. power e*trade's easy-to-use tools
