i like to call it, holly wouldn t. i say it with love, yeah, because for all the times i ve been told, no, as a latin actor. now, los angeles, surrounded by beautiful mountains, palm tree, s magnificent sunsets, and without a doubt, the best mexican food in the country. this is a melting pot with a little bit of all of us latinos. even its name is latino, the name los angeles, no, it s lost angeles. now hollywood has become a global metaphor film in a place that many of us want to reach, but what if i told you that a latino was behind one of the most incredible tv empires in the world, it s a fact. 1950s actor desi arnaz and his wife, lucille ball, were not only stars of i love lucy, but they also produced, along with many other shows, they even helped create the multi cab sitcom genre. so even though there is still the struggle, hollywood is not a new territory for us latinos, no, because we have been here. do you hear me? so today, an ally icon is taking us to its old stom
grossing films from 2007 to 2019, only six lead roles were held by afro-latinos. and the numbers for indigenous brothers and sisters, those numbers are just abysmal. so you feel accepted in the black community? today except you as equally, even though you are latina? that was also very tricky, because it was, in the beginning, when they were like, oh, yeah, absolutely, you re one of us, and this is great, and you have conversations, and you go deeper, and of course, they are fascinated. and you are not ostracized. but it was feeling like, i do i have to give this up? just to be that? but you are asked to give up your latinx because you had to present more black? i had to percent more black, and i m straddling both worlds, until such time then that i could talk j.j. abrams into making my character on alias, a rousseau cuban assassin.
