"My skin, very Mexican, very Oaxaqueñan and very human. From the color of my land and the diversity of its colors."

She then goes on to discuss how she felt when she auditioned for the role of Cleo:

"When they would ask me, I would say, 'I don't know if I got the role, but I am happy I did it because I discovered new places or I took my mom traveling."

And then talks about dismantling stereotypes and being proud of who she is and where she came from:

"Certain stereotypes are being broken: that only people with a certain profile can be actresses or be on the cover of magazines. Other faces of Mexico are now being recognized. It is something that makes me so happy and proud of my roots."
