Host Dascha Polanco invites Selenis Leyva (Orange is the New Black) and Julissa Calderon (Gentefied) into her living room to discuss navigating Hollywood as Afro-Latinas and Dominican-Americans in an industry that struggles to recognize all the ways of being Latino. Through laughter and tears they cover topics ranging from the importance of inclusivity and their experiences with colorism in the Latino community, to what’s new in Dominican slang.
