John Leguizamo has heard it all trying to make it as a Latino actor in Hollywood: "too Latino," "not Latino enough," "Latinos don't watch other Latinos." Step inside one of his auditions and hear the craziness for yourself. Then actor and activist, Diane Guerrero, talks about the need for more representation in Hollywood, the struggles she faced being separated from her immigrant parents at 14, and the way she proves her role in "Encanto" to children. And multi-hyphenate, Princess Nokia, discusses how she came up with her stage name, how John Leguizamo and Martin Lawrence are her biggest inspirations, and why she decided to allow herself to be publicly vulnerable with her new EP "i love you but this is goodbye."
