Hello there, welcome back to Latina to Latina.

On this podcast, I talk with Latinas about how they got to be so amazing.

You've heard Amy Carrero's voice, most recently as Shira, Princess of Power, in the new Netflix animated series,

or as Elena of Avalour,

Disney's first Latina princess.

She recently wrapped a five-year run on the sitcom, Young and Hungry.

And now she's doing a thing

that for most of us is hard to do.

She's carefully considering what's next.

Thank you. carefully considering what's next. Amy Kuro, you're a terrible celebrity.

You, like, drove yourself to the studio.

Well, first of all, I drove myself and then proceeded to, like, negate all of my, like,

normal behavior when there was a huge wasp that landed on my shoulder and I made an ass of myself in front of a fellow Latino actress who I've never met before. So now that's her only like experience with me. It's good that means if you're ever in the same room to reach, I'm like, I got it. Don't worry. She's going to go to all her other friends. Like, Amy's weird. It's also Miami girl. It was not a was a was a beetle. I know. It was absolutely a beetle. But it flew. Do beetles fly? I'm smart. They don't learn that in Jersey either. I know. I don't know what happened. But anyway, so I guess I made an entrance something rocked my world which is I had known

that you graduated from FIU in 2008 so I'd always done the math on your age predicated on that without

realizing that you are a weirdo who graduated in two years two years why would you do that

because I was desperate to come to L.A.

and be an actress. But my parents are, you know, we don't have any artists in my family at all.

So nobody in my family ever made a dollar really in performance. So my parents said,

if you want us to help you move to L.A. aka some money, honey,

you have to get a degree in something that's not acting. So I was like, got it. So I studied

international relations at FIU, go Panthers. And I was thankful enough or lucky enough to not have to have a job at the time.

I lived with my parents.
