A proud Afro-Latina, who has enjoyed success in the Latin market, she’s now hoping to make a mark on a more global scale.

During a now infamous scene, she was shown asking producer Young Hollywood for advice on how to reach her dreams. His response, which was to down her “ethnic, Macy Gray” look, caused outrage and immediately saw an outpouring of support for La Negra.

And, despite painting the debate as one that is bigger than her and an institutional problem affecting fellow Afro-American stars, none have come forward to vouch for her cause.

Until now.
