Every morning, my dad would have me looking in the mirror and repeat, 'Today is going to be a great day; I can, and I will.'
From Gina Rodriguez
I love telling stories that allow people to be less afraid to tell theirs.
I've specifically decided to say no to projects that weren't advancing Latinos, that weren't showing us in a positive light, roles that were gratuitous and spreading untruths.
This industry is all about work, and just because Sundance exposed me to the world, it is my job to stay deserving in that world. The work never ends; the hustle just get harder, and you get stronger!
I am not going to take a role because there's money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.
I try to keep in mind that it's a long journey. It's not a race. It's about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that's all I really want to do... and pay my bills.
I think when you work really hard and you help others, God helps you get what you want.
With each dream accomplished, bigger ones are put in their place.
I like to peel it and share it with friends. You can spread the love with an orange.
I love relatable stories.
