I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.

Sure, I've listed myself as Cuban-American. That's my heritage and my background.

I'm Cuban. Both my parents are Cuban. My grandparents are, too. Although I have no idea where Fit comes from.

I am Cuban, my parents are Cuban, and I was not adopted.

I'm black. I'm Latina. My mom is Cuban. Afro-Cuban. My dad is white and Australian.

I'm certainly proud to be Cuban American, and it's a fantastic opportunity for anybody - regardless of their ethnicity or nationality. It does carry a measure or pride to know where you're from and to know what your roots are.

I'm actually Cuban-born, born in 1956, the year Fidel Castro came into power, and my father moved my family to Miami a few years later when things were starting to look bad.

I'm black and Cuban, Australian and Irish, and like most people in America, I'm someone whose roots come from somewhere else. I'm a mixed race, first-generation American.

I grow up in the States, in Miami, but I was born in Guatemala, and my father's Cuban, and in 'Body of Lies,' I played an Iraqi.

Cubanas are very strong women. So don't mess with us - don't take us for granted!
