Actress, Zoe Saldana is proud to be a Latina and wants the whole world to know. So much so, that she graces the cover of next month’s premiere issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas.
This new issue of Cosmopolitan is a women’s lifestyle magazine that is geared towards English-speaking Latinas. Here is what Saldana says about the women of her mixed Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage.
“People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength, I’m very proud to have Latin blood.”
Saldana also speaks very candidly about her childhood desire to use her voice in spite of having been enrolled in dance groups in both Dominican Republic and in the United States.
“I had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside. It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can’t do because we feed ourselves so much denial. In dance, you use every part of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.”
Saldana and her fabulous cover of Cosmopolitan for Latinas arrives at newsstands on May 1.
