Beatriz also spoke with TODAY about representation and the first time she felt seen on screen.
“I want my kiddo to see that it’s OK to be afraid of something and go for it,” the actor shared while at Outfest Fusion’s opening night gala in Los Angeles.
“It’s really amazing,” she said of the honor. “As somebody who, when I started in this industry, wasn’t sure that there was a place for me at all, to have people respond to my work and say what you’re doing is important and really value you, that’s really, really special.” Events like Outfest Fusion QTBIPOC Film Festival — which celebrates individuals of color making an impact in the LGBTQIA+ space — are so vital, Beatriz said.
“Because what I’m seeing projected back to me in the media is that I am,” she added. “And that’s a really hard pill to swallow as a kid. And it’s part of why it took me so long to come out. Because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to. I knew I didn’t want to be the bad guy. And so really the first time I saw a bi-character who had a great job and healthy group of friends, prospects for their future, a great sense of humor and a f---ing kick ass wardrobe was seeing Rosa Diaz on ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
