Career

edit

Ruiza wanted to do comedic roles, which eventually led her to become a producer. She participated in Latino Stereotypes for Dummies.[3] This short video was written by Jesenia and uses humor to explore the realities of stereotypes that Latinas face in the entertainment industry. Saturday Night Live served as an impetus for this project, as up until 2017 it did not include a Latina comedienne in its cast.
