LAdies..YEAH

In the world of today, you cannot happen to see leading ladies of color and culture plastered everywhere. My ultimate definition IS JENNIFER LOPEZ, but for the sake of this we'll put her in her own world.Whether it be in movies, fashion, or tv some of these ladies are known names by now. Im going to center it on some of my fav ppl. Its a short list but Im sure favs will be constant on here. Surprisingly, not all of these stars are recognized as of Latin descent. They primarily are marketed for roles that would cast a latino,african american, or a "biracial" character. None of this is a negative...only a plus. Check em out!

 Rosario Dawson.. Where to begin. This girl has my respect. She has a plethora of honors and blockbuster movies.A multi-faceted talent, Dawson also produced the film DESCENT – the first self-produced feature film under her production banner, Trybe Films, which premiered to rave reviews at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival – and co-created the acclaimed comic book “O.C.T.”, about a supernatural crimes task force She is also the star and Executive Producer of Gemini Division, a web series debuting in August.Rosario is also heavily involved in politics as evident by the non-partisan organization she co-founded in 2004 Voto Latino which works to promote an enfranchised America by leveraging celebrity voices, the latest technology and youth themselves to promote positive change. A Bad Bitch in my eyes, her wide eyes and smart personality makes her a charming female to be involved with.

Michele Rodriguez. Known for tough-chick roles, Michelle Rodriguez is proof that there is a cross between beauty and brawn.Michelle always knew she was destined to become a star, she just didn't know how to get there.
It only took a magazine ad announcing an open casting call in New York for Michelle to decide to finally step into the spotlight. The role was the female lead, the movie was Girlfight (2000). Despite the lack of experience in film and boxing, Michelle auditioned, along with another 350 girls. She didn't have a driver's license before filming The Fast and the Furious (2001) and had to obtain one during her training for the car chase sequences. Always fun to watch, you can catch her later this year in the upcoming Resident Evil 2012,
