What do you like about being Latina?
Every single time I tell people I’m Puerto Rican. I love it! I think it’s hilarious to see their surprised faces, and its always an opportunity to open the conversation about diversity, especially in the fashion and entertainment industry. People have a stereotype of how Latinos and Puerto Ricans look like, and I enjoy witnessing my contribution to change that. I also love pronouncing my full name in Spanish. It confuses people haha.
What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?
What, where, how, when, and with who. Those are the questions I ask myself before I get dressed. It all depends on the circumstances, and I have a closet that’s perfect for that. Basic items (pencil skirts, tank tops, blouses, jeans, little-black-dresses) let me mix and match to always create a new outfit. Color palate stays around the cool, darker tones; black is inevitable. Overall, my look is simple, effortless and elegant.
