Rita Moreno: Overcoming Struggles

🎤 “For many, many years, I hated being Latina. I was ashamed of it. I got bullied and treated very badly for a good part of my life. That stayed with me for a very long time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I come from a time when there were no mentors, certainly not for somebody like me. nobody around. But you just have to pick yourself up, slap yourself on the face—figuratively and literally, if necessary—and understand that life is just not easy.” @theritamoreno⠀ ⠀ Rita is one of the few women to have won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony. 🌟
