ROMA: How Yalitza Aparicio’s role is changing the game

If you haven’t watched Roma by Alfonso Cuarón then you should, it’s one of the most real and heartbreaking movies I’ve seen this year. 

The film stars Yalitza Aparicio, an indigenous woman with mixtec origin who plays the role of Cleo, a domestic worker in the 70′s. Yalitza had never acted before, she was studying to be a teacher yet her performance was amazing and according to the TIME magazine one of the best of the year.

She’s giving a voice to indigenous girls, being the first native american woman to be featured on the cover of VOGUE Mexico. And she has received a lot of criticism and racist comments, however, she said that she's happy of representing her culture and breaking the stereotypes.

As a descendant of indigenous people, I feel proud of seeing women and men with the same physical characteristics as me on the film and fashion industry. Thank you Yalitza because you’re representing us.

HOW YOUR CLOTHES  REPRESENT YOU

For me there are two types of people: the ones who see the world with a fashionist eye and the ones who don’t. 

If you’d ask me a year ago i’d probably say that it’s bullshit, that a ‘fashionist eye’ doesn’t exist. Oh boy… how wrong. It is a real thing, I truly believe that there’s people who see beyond a pair of jeans, who see more. And those pals can understand you and know every little secret that you keep only by analysing your outfit.

So, how do a pair of clothes define you? Well, they’re a reflection of our psyche, our subconscious. We dress according to our mood. And maybe we don’t even notice this, we just put our things on and go out and we don’t even know that we are letting other people know how and who we are.

So, it’s not just a piece of cloth, is a statement.
