What do you love about being Latina?

I love that people view us Latinas as very powerful and outspoken women. The love and pride I have for being Latina is very hard to put into words. Its one of those things that you just feel but can’t explain.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

I don’t even do it consciously but half of my wardrobe is white. Besides white, I love earthy tones. In terms of outfits, because I live on a tropical island, my closet is made up mostly of skirts and short dresses, but that will have to change now that I am moving to NYC.

Too many things to count but the main thing is that we are built as fearless women. We are not afraid to speak up and have drive to be leaders.

That I am the only Latina at my job!

Currently into a lot of nudes, grays, creams and dusty pink.

What do you like about being Latino?

I love that Latina’s are known as the epitome of sexy & fierce. While I believe that each woman poses something special of their own, Latinas are immediately connected to overcoming any obstacles & their strength. In a nutshell, being Latina is the luchadora (warrior) cutthroat attitude but we also nurture like no other.
Latinas are the perfect blend of everything & that reflects a lot in our different cultures within Latin America. I am Mexican but even within Mexico we have different takes on our culture, there is so much to be appreciated within the Latino culture.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

Something about me that people will be very surprised to know about me is that I was a huge tomboy growing up. I grew up with my brother who is 3 years older than me so I would always ruin my clothes playing with the boys & mix my Barbie dolls with his action figures.
What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

My favorite color to wear is red but if you take a look into my closet you’ll see a lot of Olive & a lot of Black. People think black is easy to work with but I think its elegant & sexy. When in doubt, turn some heads in black.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

I don’t think I have a favorite brand. I will seriously wear anything from anyone because I like it & its affordable. Dream designer to wear would have to be Carolina Herrera because she dressed Jackie Kennedy & Michelle Obama.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

I love the way Zendaya dresses. You can really see her creativity & personality though her style & the woman can make anything look good.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

In 5 years I see my self (above all) to be happy. I am a broadcast journalist so I see myself working to the top of my field & interviewing. I also see myself taking over my family business 100% so my mother can retire & maybe finally allowing marriage & kids in my life lol.

Which actor/actress or model has the best style according to your taste?

Mmmm, this is a tough question. I tend to create my own style based on what I like, what’s trending and what accentuates my features. I don’t really have a specific someone to name. Yes, there’s a few actress and models I enjoy how they dress but they don’t really define my style.


Who was your role model growing up and how does that influence who you are today?

My role model growing up was my mom, she still is! I have learned from her sacrifices and experiences. She has taught me to be the woman I am today and I am proud of how she raised my brothers and I. She is also my go-to fashion consultant. I have learned my great taste in style from her.

Although, I’m not Peruvian my favorite Latino Dish is ceviche. It’s so yummy; I could eat it for days.


What is your favorite thing to do?
