Being Latina, I'm super close with my family. I love them, and I love spending time with them. I love being at my grandma's house and eating her food.
Back home I had always been comfortable around people. I was the troublemaker, always being funny - that's just who I am. I'm Latina; I've always had that extra little flavor. But when I got to New York, it became about being comfortable with myself in a place where I didn't know many people, and that was the big challenge. Ultimately my personality helped me build relationships with the people I was working with, and I was able to stand out.
'Latina' has become part of the Becky G family, and I feel very proud to say that.
I love Shakira - she is such a beautiful person. She does so many good things for the world on top of making good music. And she is an awesome mom. When you are Latina, it is all about family, and to see that she prioritizes family and her career at the same time is really nice.
I'm so proud to be a Latina. Growing up and being Latina and growing up with my father and getting to do a lot of the Hispanic traditions, I loved it.
I'm an actress, and I am Latina.
I was going through puberty and was much curvier than other girls, which made me insecure. Then I saw J. Lo on the cover of 'Latina' magazine, and she embraced those curves and was proud of who she was.
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.
They say Latina women are spicy. But we are more than that. We have power, and we run things.
Being Latina to me is living your life like it's a big old fiesta!
For me, the best part of being Latina in the WWE is the feistiness I can bring to the ring.
I am so proud of my heritage and of being Latina. I would most definitely consider roles in Latin America.
There's a spirit of Latina women in all of my work, in the love of the body and the strong sense of self.
Myy mom is the woman who inspires me the most. She's Latina. She's definitely my Latina inspiration.
She's applying her lipstick; I've always believed that the universe invented the color red solely for Latinas.
I have to represent. I feel proud to have a culture that's different... and proud to be a Latina. We're not all categorized as one type of person... there's people from everywhere doing different things who have different types of cultures. Being Latina for me is also being a strong woman.
Latina women are proud to be called Mrs. That simply means that we have a family.
The women I love most are Latina - my sister, mother, and daughter. They're spontaneous but spend a majority of their time trying to make others happy.
I love going to the hair salon. I'm Spanish. I think it's more of a Latina thing to go to the hair salon.
Like most Latinas, I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
My mother would always say that we had to look very presumida, and I took that to heart. Latinas take a lot of pride in looking their best and that might mean putting a little mascara on.
There is no 'generic' Latina.
My friend Mercedes Pena made me get in touch with my emotions just before I had a breast cut off. Just as I suspected, they were awful. "How do you Latinas do this all the time in touch with your emotions?" I asked her. "That's why we take siestas," she replied.
The Latina in me is an ember that blazes forever.
I think us women need to appreciate ourselves, and I think we need to really go after our dreams. Us Latinas tend to sacrifice too much for our husbands, our families, and our kids. We sometimes give up on our dreams in order to help the ones we love. I think it's important to feel accomplished and achieve the goals that we set for ourselves.
