It's no secret that Latino representation on television and in movies is embarrassingly low.
And when we do get some, white or lighter skinned Latinos are often favored for roles, leaving Afro-Latinos with fewer opportunities to shine. Now, this isn't to say we shouldn't cast a certain type of person — it's just about realizing that Latino representation should be inclusive and representative of ALL our shades, black and brown included. So here are 23 actors who deserve equal attention:
1. Jharrel Jerome
2. Selenis Leyva
3. Y’lan Noel

4. Mj Rodriguez
5. Judy Reyes
6. Yaya DaCosta
7. Jorge Lendeborg Jr.
