Celebrating America Ferrera’s historic Emmy win 👏 The Honduran-American blazed a trial at the 2007 Emmys when she became the first Latina to win in a lead actress category—a major win for Latina representation. The actress earned her award for her role as Betty Suarez in the ABC comedy “Ugly Betty,” a series based on the equally iconic Colombian telenovela “Yo soy Betty, la fea.” #UglyBetty #AmericaFerrera #Emmys #ThisWeekInHistory #LatinaPower #Poderosa #HistoryMade
