"abortion"

Growing up, telenovelas taught me about a woman’s right to choose her own destiny. Something I included when I made my own, “Princess of South Beach.”

Usually, no one dies on Call the Midwife. And it’s definitely a good thing since the show focuses on giving birth. I mean, I for one, would not watch a dead baby…

“Love is Blind” is set in Texas this time and episode six brought up one of the most hotly contested political topics in the state – abortion.

Watching these Latinx and Latin American comedians, I couldn’t help but see proof that we’re more similar than we think. 

Wondering what we need to do to start succeeding in Hollywood? Let’s turn to what Latinx leaders in the industry have said needs to happen.

In issue 16 of #TheLatinaPress, we celebrate Leo season, discuss that Emmys snub, and make some summer reading recommendations.

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is gut wrenching, but we will never relinquish our power. 

In #TheLatinaPress Issue 10, we look back on the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the cancellation of ‘Gentefied,’ and Latinas many contributions to fashion.

Author and Latina Rebels’ founder Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez’s debut, For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color is the book I’ve been waiting for my whole life. What began as her love letter, almost a prayer, addressed to brown girls has become a 270-page book. It’s to, for, and about Latinas who have to navigate racism, sexism, and classism in all spaces, but particularly white-dominant ones.

Sometimes, I just want to escape to where the stakes are low, the people are beautiful, and I don’t have to think too hard – aka to ‘Roswell, New Mexico.’
