Portrayal of Latinas in Television

An interesting thing I've come to discover is that a lot of the men and women that I work with do not currently have or have ever had a connection or relationship with other Latinos. They then later base the things they say about Latinos due to what they think they know because they have seen or heard about it in it in films and television.

Therefore, this brought me to my project and my interest in learning more about how my culture is being represented and how other Latinas feel about this representation. As a Latina that was once confused by the message that the media provided me with I feel concerned for other young Latinas and I want to help open their eyes. I hope to show the way we're being portrayed as well as how and why this isn't correct and at the same time get their opinions on how we can improve this image.
