A Quote by Gina Torres

My view of myself doesn't change. I know who I am. I'm Cuban American; both my parents are Cuban - one was a little browner than the other one. That's who I am. I feel sorry that it's taken so long for the film industry to figure it out and to catch up.

Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.
