“We’re looking for someone who looks more Latina.” People come in all different skin shades, sizes, and appearances. But there is a generated idea of how a “Latina woman” should look, be, and act.

There shouldn’t be a checklist of requirements of how you need to look, act or speak to be who you want to be.
