Zoe Saldana is on the cover of the latest Latino magazine Siempre Mujer. In her article translated by JustJared.com Zoe explain how she’s so comfortable with her race she doesn’t make a big deal about it, and also she would like for her people to embrace every aspect of their race.
“I’m just Zoe. Not a little bit Dominican, not a little bit Puerto Rican, none of that silliness…I am what you want me to be if that’s what it takes for you to overcome your insecurities. As a Latina, I think we should be very proud of our heritage. We tend to look for European roots and reject the indigenous and the African, and that is disgusting. Being Latin is a mix of everything. I want my people to not be as insecure, and to adore what we are because it’s beautiful.”
Way to go Zoe, for standing up for your heritage. I feel like people have way too many issues when it comes to race and we simple need to embrace all of out inner being. Thank you for representing her race with grace, style and elegance.
