She Hopes to Continue Breaking Stereotypes With Her Performances
While Melissa notes that every role she's ever done holds a special place in her heart, she hopes to continue breaking stereotypes with her performances by being more selective about the roles she takes on and the stories she chooses to tell. "That is a sure way to contribute to the change we need in the industry," she previously told Schön! magazine. "I also want to start producing content. That's another way to ensure that the stories that are being told about the Latinx community are the kind of representation we deserve."
