И_Камила Мендес 04/04/2024 camimendes HAPPY MÚSICA RELEASE DAY 🎉 streaming now on @ primevideo 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 some of you may already know this story, but when i was 21, not too long before i booked riverdale, i told my agent at the time, an iconic woman named bonnie shumofsky, that i wanted to change my last name to something more “ambiguous.” i was worried that my latin last name was holding me back from booking roles. as a brazilian-american who spoke portuguese instead of spanish, it didn’t feel like the industry had a place for me. i was either not latina enough (by their definition) or not american enough. fortunately bonnie was quick to shut that idea down. she reminded me that my last name is what made me unique, and that being brazilian-american was my superpower. so thank you bonnie for saving me from what could have been a huge mistake. the fact that i now have a film coming out that celebrates this part of my identity in the most artful, cinematic way is beyond my wildest dreams. but aside from the cultural backdrop, the rom-com structure, and the musical language, this is a coming-of-age story about finding your path and learning how to love yourself above all else. there truly is something for everyone. i hope you love it as much as we loved making it ♥️
