Plus, if you silently compete with the gym's "pink Stanley girl," you're not alone.

I'm Celebrating Zoe Saldaña's Historic Oscar Win — Not "Emilia Pérez" I've been a fan of Zoe Saldaña for as long as I can remember. From her first ever movie role in the 2000 film "Center Stage" to starring in big blockbuster franchises like Star Trek, Avatar, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Saldaña has been nothing short of an inspiration to Latinas like me. As an Afro-Latina actress of both Dominican and Puerto Rican descent, she is one of the few actresses to look like her and make it that far up the Hollywood ladder. So, of course, I teared up in the middle of her acceptance speech when she won her first Oscar for best supporting actress in "Emilia Pérez." As I proudly watched Saldaña, who made history as the first Dominican American to win an Oscar, cry out for her mother in the audience, thank her grandmother, and shout out her Dominican heritage, I realized how this achievement was a win not just for her but for her fans like me who have watched her break barriers in Hollywood. And yet, my excitement has been met with frustration over the poor Latine representation found in "Emilia Pérez."
