Most people don’t know about your Latin heritage; can you tell us about it?

A lot of people are not aware that I am 50% Mexican America & my dad is African American. My mom was born in Sonora, however; I do not speak Spanish. I grew up on all the Mexican American cultures though & I embrace that part of me.

 

Has not speaking Spanish had positive or negative effects on you?

At times I wish I did speak the language, because there are so many interviews & networks I could be talking to, to represent the Pussycat Dolls & my Latin descent. However, it is a goal of mine, before I have children, to learn Spanish.

 

What are your favorite cultural traditions?

Food, I am definitely looking forward to Thanksgiving. We never miss out on the tamales, tortillas & frijoles & we do all the America traditions too; like turkey & stuffing & mashed potatoes.

 

What is your experience being a minority in a famous group like the Pussycat Dolls?

I didn’t realize I was the only member of Latin origin until we starting recording the album. I have to say that I am blessed & honored to be the only member representing the Latin culture. It means a lot to have some really hard core fans in both cultural groups.

 

What are your plans for the future?

My plans are to continue on with the Pussycat Dolls until I am at a place where I am comfortable & then record a solo album that may include some awesome Spanish records as well. I can record them pretty well because I have good accent even though I don’t speak the language. I also want to continue to inspire young girls of a mixed cultural race.

 

Being Latina & pursuing your aspirations of being in the entertainment industry what did you find to be encouraging/discouraging? We use the word Chilosa to describe ourselves. To us it means: A sassy, hot & feisty girl who’s independent with a little spice. She’s the fun & fearless girl next door with lots of spirit who has a deep sense of inner self confidence. She knows who she is inside & doesn’t have to put up false fronts to be something that she’s not; would you describe yourself as a Chilosa woman & why?

Absolutely, in this industry you have to always keep your head up. There will always be people that have something to say that is either positive or negative & you have to be able to pick yourself up & keep your confidence high as a strong woman.

 

How would you feel about being a part of the Chilosa movement?

I am honored. Thank you guys so much for asking me. People aren’t aware that I am of Latin descent & it’s important for people to know we can be successful too.
