“I was told early on that I could not audition for Latina characters because I’m Black. And as much as I adore Jennifer Lopez and Salma Hayek, there are many amazing Latinas who don’t look like them. Afro-Latinxs also deserve to be represented, in all aspects of life.” — Reagan Gomez-Preston

“I’m Cuban but [people] didn’t get it because I was also brown-skinned, and you usually see a fair-skinned Latino. So it was just like, ‘Oh, what are you? Are you Black? Are you white?’ I didn’t feel like I had to make a choice. I am who I am.” — Christina Milian

“I wanted to break all of the stereotypes of the Black superstar, whether falling victim to drugs or alcohol or the absurd misconception that Black women were angry. I knew I was given this amazing opportunity and felt like I had one shot. I refused to mess it up, but I had to give up a lot.” — Beyoncé
