The actress is currently promoting her first directorial debut for the film Flamin’ Hot, speaking to lots of different press.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star delved into her longstanding acting career as well as her latest project as the director.

Eva also talked about trying to marry her passion for filmmaking with advocating for Latino representation in the entertainment industry.

She revealed that despite landing major roles in popular sitcoms, she felt like she ‘was the huge disappointment’ in her family.

As they were all educators, she explained how they pushed her to return to school and earn her Master’s degree in Chicano Studies at California State University Northridge.

Since then, the activist has participated and spearheaded many efforts to create change — which she says is the motivating factor for her passion for directing as well.

She explained: ‘That was the goal and the purpose of getting behind the camera, creating more opportunity for my community.’
