Eva Longoria Wants To Uplift Other Latinas

Eva Longoria thinks it is important to "support and uplift" her fellow Latinas, including pals America Ferrera and Gina Rodriguez.

The star gushed about how she is often inspired by her best friends.

Speaking as she promoted her new series 'Grand Hotel', the former 'Desperate Housewives' actress said: "We were just together at Gina Rodriguez's premiere for 'Miss Bala'. It's important to us to continue to support and uplift each other. America's a leader. She's an example. She's smart, she's intelligent, she's inspiring. We had our babies at the same time, so we're constantly leaning on each other for mother stuff. 'What are you doing? Are you feeding? I'm feeding. Are you sleeping? Yeah, he's sleeping.' We're constantly calling each other. We text all the time, we see each other all the time."

The 43-year-old vowed to fight to see more Latino women on television, as she believes they are "underrepresented onscreen".

She added: "I want to create those stories for our community, because we can't be what we can't see, and if all you see on the news in the media is negative depictions of us, you have to counter balance that with our storytelling and our perspective. For me, I think when people see Latinos in television and media, it not only teaches others about minority communities, but it teaches us what we think of ourselves, and that's what I want to change. We have to think of ourselves as more, and I want to show that on TV."
