1x1 - Taina

Taina learns that acting isn't about action sequences and tough-cop one-liners. After a disappointing response to her Jennifer López-inspired tough-gal, Taina regroups with a portrayal of Joan of Arc. Thanks in part to encouragement from her friends and family. Her mother is played by real-life 80s pop diva, Lisa Lisa. Remembering when she came from Puerto Rico as a little girl who knew no English, Taina's mother tells her the new language sounded like nonsense. Her own mother's words gave her strength, she tells Taina, ""You're a Latina, you have strong blood.""
