'Gentefied' leading actresses talk about Spanglish, tacos and being 'Latina enough'

The issue of younger, affluent professionals displacing working-class Latino families is an ongoing issue in several parts of the country, whether it's in Brooklyn, Los Angeles or San Francisco.

The bilingual nature of the series is personal for Gonzalez who, as a fifth-generation Mexican-American, didn’t learn Spanish at home because her family was reluctant to teach it. "Gentefied" deals with the themes of Latino identity and authenticity, which Gonzalez said were relatable for her. Growing up, she experienced being questioned by other Latinos over whether she was embarrassed by her culture or how Mexican she really was.Gonzalez has a role in another show,"Vida," which also explores the issue of changing neighborhoods and gentrification in Boyle Heights, drawing some questions about the need for more than one show on the topic.

It’s called Spanglish. Mine is frenglish ( French & English)
