Trailblazer Rosie Perez turns 60 on Sept. 6, and through her decades-long career, she’s been vocal about the importance of diverse representation. After her breakout role in the film “Do the Right Thing “ in 1989, she went on to star in “White Men Can’t Jump“ in 1992 and “Fearless”, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1994. The Puerto Rican actress has been vocal about Latinx representation on screen and how she’s proud of her roots and what she can bring to a role. She previously told People Chica: “I’ve never shied away from portraying my Puerto Rican-ness… You have to have that tenacity and that self-confidence to walk in a room and say ‘This is how I see the character and this is how I want to play it.’” #RosiePerez #LatinaPower #AfroLatina #AfroLatinas #SoyLatina #ProudLatina #Latina #RepresentationMatters #PuertoRican #LatinaActress #Hlog
