If I could choose a super villain or superhero to be for one day I would choose America Chavez. America Chavez is basically the female Hispanic version of Captain America. This fictional character is extremely important to me because it one of the few times I've seen a positive portrayal of Latinas in mainstream content. I am Latina myself and I find it hard to avoid the stereotypical picture that mainstream media portrays Hispanic as. They are often seen as promiscuous and are often sexualized. It is important to me that young Hispanic girls have a positive female role model to look up to. I would want to be America Chavez because I believe that during these trying times it is important to remember that you are more than what is protrayed
