Perez was talking at the ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson‘ podcast hosted by Tyson himself. Moreover, the CEO of Tyson 2.0, Adam Wilk, was also present as the co-host. In conversation, Tyson asked the Oscar-nominated actress what she wished to achieve through acting. He asked, “What is your goal in this profession? What is the goal that you have for yourself in this profession.”
Meanwhile, Perez was taken aback by Tyson’s question. She responded saying, “My goal? Nobody has ever asked me that.”
Further, she added, “My goal is to strive for excellence. I mean, I’ll never be perfect, but I can at least strive for excellence. And, my goal is just to keep doing good work. But also to keep opening new doors because they treat you know latinos like crap.”
Additionally, she mentioned how the Latin American community is treated by Hollywood. In fact, Perez also revealed she had to refuse roles because of how the characters were portrayed.
Tyson nodded in agreement to Perez stating that everybody’s purpose was similar.
