As some may know (and others may not know), Latinos have no single, defining look, as they come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, representing a blend of Indigenous, European, African, and Asian ancestry. While often stereotyped as having tan skin and dark features, Latinos can appear white, Black, or brown, with diverse skin tones, hair textures, and facial features. Today, we have a diverse panel representing this very wide range of looks to talk about their own experiences explaining “What does a Latino look like”?
Guests:
Drew Rooks
Argentinean
Naheem Garcia
Cuban
Betty Francisco
Puerto Rican

Not Latina but "looks" Latina
