It’s tough out here for a bruja. Everyday, we see amazing Latinas who are killing it at work, at home, at school, and in our communities, but that’s where it stops. We KNOW them, but we don’t SEE them. In politics, in the news, in films, and in books, our stories rarely get told and when they do, they often rely on played out stereotypes. It’s time we see ourselves as we want and deserve to be seen.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — Isabel Allende is a Latina icon. So you can imagine how excited we were to hear that HBO picked up a three-part mini-series dramatizing her life.

In we-are-not-a-monolith news, Latina critics are split on Netflix’s ‘Ginny & Georgia’ with reviews ranging from “a mess” to “really powerful.”

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating Latinas, past and present with NHMC. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered with seven films about real-life Latinas.

There’s been A LOT of conversation about Malcolm & Marie. So what do Afrolatinas think? Well, the response is polarized as critics zero in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the film.

This Nickelodeon cartoon turned live-action teen-fairy drama has got lots of people’s attention. So what do Latinas think of ‘Fate: The Winx Saga?’
-
‘Wonder Woman 1984’ is out, so what did Latinas think? Was this feminist icon’s sequel better than the original? Turns out our reviews were mixed as we tried to enjoy the DC Comic flick for what it is while also being disappointed in its worldview.
-
“Selena: The Series” debuted on Netflix last week and Latinas, well, we have THOUGHTS. Pretty much every single one of us. So while we’re normally agitating for more Latina critics, we know we can’t just sit back and savor this moment – we have to support these mujeres problématicas, defending them against the “why-can’t-Latinos-just-support-each-other” crew (otherwise known as men).

The Saved by the Bell reboot premiered last week and it appears to be… good? Of course, we believe its success can be found in its latindad – it stars TWO Latinas in Haskiri Velazquez and Alycia Pascual-Pena and Maria Lopez is a producer. But what do Latinas think? Turns out, we’re pretty into it.
