[on being an Afro-Latina] Since early, it'd be like, 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 what I am. We're all different, but you have to accept our differences. As far as Afro-Cuban [goes], I'm finding more and more that there's people opening their eyes to seeing that. Latinos come in all colors, all shades. You should see my mom and her brothers and sisters. Same parents, but we just vary in color, shapes and sizes. But we're still Latinos - that doesn't change a damn thing. You can tell it's in the core of our blood.
