Becky G says Dora the Explorer was the only representation she had

She told actor Diego Boneta on the latest episode of her Facebook Watch series Face to Face that Dora the Explorer was the only form of representation she saw growing up.

"The only thing that I had growing up was Dora," Becky said. "And she was like an icon for me, but I didn't get a princess. I didn't get a superhero. I didn't get anything."

She also opened up about bringing Latina and LGBTQ representation to the Power Rangers franchise when she played Trini Kwan (a.k.a. the Yellow Ranger) in the 2017 theatrically-released installment.

"I was a huge Power Rangers fan growing up... But I remember when there was a shift for there to be a Latina power ranger," she said. "And it was terrifying, because there was layers there to Trini, my character, that were clear that she was figuring out who she was. And some of those layers were of LGBTQ+ representation.
