Julissa Calderon wants to spread the word that Latinx people are not “one size fits all.” On Netflix’s Gentefied, she plays 23-year-old Dominican activist Yessika Flores, the girlfriend of one of the show’s lead characters, Ana Morales. Calderon’s mission is to fight the cycle of gentrification that threatens to displace primarily Latinx residents in the fictional California neighborhood of Boyle Heights. In the process, though, she has to fend off Ana’s mother, who constantly antagonizes Yessika about her African roots.
