Whether it is an athlete, a singer, an actor, or even an activist or politician, it is extremely hard to put together a list of the people we like the most, especially when there are a lot of options and almost all of them embody the beauty of being Afro-Latinx. 

Despite their different upbringings and beliefs, and the fact that Afro-Latin Americans have limited media appearances, the following celebrities not only have in common a successful career in the entertainment industry, but they also are Latinos and Latinas that are proud of their African ancestry. 

Here are 14 of our favorite Afro-Latinx celebrities: 

8La La Anthony 

As reported by Bossip, Alani Nicole Vázquez, commonly known as La La Anthony, describes herself as an Afro-Puerto Rican. “I embrace being a Black-Puerto Rican and think we are plentiful and do exist!” she said. “I am more “black” than people think. I would never shun that part of me and my marriage and the way I conduct MYSELF in public should speak volumes for what I stand for. I speak fluent Spanish as well, so why deny that intricacy of my makeup?” 

La La started her career in radio when she was 15 years old and now we can enjoy her as Lakeisha Grant in the Starz original drama series Power.
