    I am not Latina, I’m black but I can feel how very important this video is for all Latinas. Representation matters. Thanks Adrienne.

    Love this video and the empowerment YESSS! ✊🏽❤️ but GIRL please remember that Latinos also includes Brazilians 🇧🇷 who speak Portuguese! We’re often left out from the narrative. So when you mention things like “our language” when referring to Latinos as a whole, replace that with “our languageS” etc.

      Michelle Bravo frrr, we need more Ecuadorian representation!! I grew up thinking that there was literally no one from Ecuador in the media. Every single Latino character that I’ve seen on the screen were Mexican. Little did I know that when I watched the Cheetah Girls on Disney when I was 8, that Adrienne was half Ecuadorian. I literally only found out a couple months ago, and it’s just so crazy that the media only portrays Latinos like Mexican or Puerto Rican or El Salvadorian. There’s nothing wrong with those countries at ALl, but the world needs to know that Latinos aren’t just ONE culture, we come in varieties, different shapes, sizes, color. We need the REPRESENTATION!!

Ecuador doesn’t get represented equally like the other countries. I wish they would though, but we also don’t have to wait on someone to represent us. We can do it, it doesn’t matter how many followers, subscribers you have. We all gotta start somewhere!! One step at a time 💪Latinos unite 🙏🏼

      So basically your saying that before you watched this video, you did not stand tall with ur head help up high??? Now that is low, you should have learned this from ur family then when back when... I did not learn nor did it make me more confident from watching this video of A, but I do agree and understand what she did say...
      Also being proud of urself is taught at a young age not by watching and listening too UA-cam.....Plus you should never forget about ur heritage...
