In Conversation: America Ferrera

Whether she's on a film set or on a stage at a political rally, actress, producer and director America Ferrera has built a career fighting against the labels that everybody told her would hold her back. But beyond her recognisable roles in Ugly Betty or 2023's hit blockbuster Barbie, Ferrera is a committed activist working to engage Latino communities and has even invested in women's football. She sat down with BBC 100 Women to discuss her experience growing up in a family of immigrants, the need to have more representation on screen, and how she uses what she calls her 'superpower'.
