“Being Latina for me is also being a strong woman.” — Natalie Martinez Quote

“Being Latina for me is also being a strong woman.”

“My family lives in Miami, and I always envision myself, if something happens, it'd be like 'The Day After Tomorrow' where I walk across country to find my family. That would be the kind of person I would be. I feel like I wouldn't be as scared. If it happens, it happens. You face it.”

“I love meat - I'm Cuban; I grew up eating meat, platanos, and arroz con pollo. I don't believe in starving yourself, but sometimes I do cleanses and diets to prepare for a role.”

“I'm bicultural, and everyone sees me as a Latina, but in my head I see myself as both Latina and American.”

“Being Latina has always been really, really lovely for me. It's something that I'm very proud of.”

“I never thought of myself as a woman leader or Latina leader; I just thought of myself as a leader.”
