OITNB's Diane Guerrero Opens Up About Her Parents' Deportation and Why This Is the Country They Love
Diane Guerrero isn't letting her past define her, but she certainly is letting it shape her. The Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin star always had a story to tell - way before her parents were taken from their home in Boston and deported to Colombia when she was just 14. She wanted to entertain and teach on stage and on set, but she probably never imagined that her narrative would end up on pen and paper, too. Her memoir, In the Country We Love, on sale May 3, is powerful - it had me in tears page after page - and so is Diane.
It takes just a few minutes on the phone for Diane to show she's sentimental, opinionated, and determined but also empathetic and totally lovable. In all honesty, if you ever have the chance to talk to her like I did, you will find yourself wishing you could be her best friend. She is wise beyond her 29 years and ready to share her life, full of challenges and obstacles, with anyone ready for it.
Here, she opens up about the harrowing experience of being an American citizen left behind after her parents' deportation but also about her hopes for immigration change, friendship, and having a support system that made her life today possible.
POPSUGAR: Your story is very personal and emotional. Can you tell us a little bit about what the process was like once you decided it was time to share it?
Diane Guerrero: It was really scary, definitely overwhelming, and at times I really wanted to stop. It was hard reliving all of those memories, but I think I realized that I was growing through the process and even though it was tough to deal with, at the end of the day, I felt better about everything; I felt one step closer to being at peace. The book doesn't only talk about the sad moments, but it also brings up really beautiful moments with my family and in my life, triumphs that my family and I lived, and those moments are not to be taken for granted. Throughout the book, I realized I needed to appreciate my family and my own story and say, "Wow, my story is valuable too, and I shouldn't feel ashamed of it. I should be proud."
PS: The book starts with you coming home and finding that your parents have been taken by immigration officials. It's a very visceral and palpable moment. That day was life-changing - how has that influenced everything you've done moving forward?
DG: It was something really tough to go through at such a young age, but it really helped me buckle down. It showed me that I was going to have to work really hard and that things weren't going to be easy, sugarcoated. Things were just very matter-of-fact. It taught me to be strong. Even though it was an incredibly sad moment, it was inspiring. It says: "OK, here I am, what am I going to do? Am I going to curl up in a ball and stay like this and let this take me down? Or am I going to keep living and try to find my way in the world and make things better for myself?" I think I chose the latter. It made me have a vision.
I knew that I wanted better for myself. I knew that one day I had to get my family back together. I knew that there was going to be a lot of obstacles. My family was now broken, and maybe I don't get my family together in the literal sense, but I can get them on the same page regarding our truths and experiences and accepting our situation, making the most of what we were given. I wanted to show that there were real families behind the issues. I also wanted to tell it from the perspective of a citizen child left behind. I wanted to answer those questions that people often have, like, "Why didn't you go back with your parents?" and "Why wasn't it easy for them to achieve citizenship?" This is not everyone's experience, but guess what? A lot of people share them.

15 GIFs That Perfectly Describe Your Relationship With Your Mom
Growing up with a Latina mom is a bit like growing up on a roller coaster - the best damn roller coaster ever.

She raised me on her own and still managed to age like she's Jennifer Lopez (that alone deserves major props, am I right?), but no one gets me like she does - and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

11 Facts About Goya That Will Blow Your Mind
Chances are your pantry has more than a few Goya products in it right now, and though most Latinos grew up seeing the chunky font spelling the name on cans, jars, bottles, and bags in our mom's and grandma's kitchens, do we really know much about the history behind the brand?

3 Delicious Wedding Cake Trends Your Taste Buds Will Appreciate

Whether you're planning a wedding or will be attending one soon, chances are one thing is on your mind: the cake. Well, brace yourself, because the postnuptial tradition has just been elevated.
While at Puerto Rico's annual food festival, Saborea, POPSUGAR Latina spoke to Puerto Rico Tourism Company's executive chef Norma Llop about the exciting future of wedding cakes and her take on their new direction. And let's just say figurines atop a fondant-laced creation will soon be a distant memory.
Here, discover the trends you can expect to see.
1. Buttercream
Bid farewell to traditional perfect-looking fondant, because buttercream is taking its place as the wedding cake icing of choice. "Buttercream is lighter, fluffier, and cuter," Norma offered, explaining its rise in popularity. "It's relatively easy. It's not sweet." All these factors add up to one end result: more, please!

2. Naked Cakes
If you'd rather just eat the cake instead of having to nibble your way through a layer of frosting, meet the naked cake. It's completely bare of toppings and totally customizable - everything from the flavor, coloring, and even the actual shape of the cake can be personalized. One pro tip you should follow if you choose to go this way: to create a smooth, crumb-free finish, Norma recommends adding chocolate (or some other kind of moisture-rich ingredient) to the mix.
3. Cheesecakes
Cheesecake fans, rejoice! Now is the time for your favorite dessert to shine. But it doesn't have to be a plain old recipe; consider, for example, spicy cheesecake. To achieve the Latin-inspired take on the classic sweet treat, simply use a peppered cheese instead of the standard creamy variety. It'll add some heat while simultaneously satisfying your postreception dinner cravings.

Save Money, Look Cute, and DIY Your Very Own Retro Headband
The following post was originally featured on A Charming Project and written by Enid Gonzalez, who is part of POPSUGAR Select Latina.
I love weekend routines, and our favorite thing to do on Sundays is walk over to our local coffee shop. Last week, the barista said that we can just say, "the usual" and he'll know it's a cappuccino for me and americano for Michael (finally, a barista that understands our coffee obsession, bless his heart). We usually try to grab a seat at the window and observe how dogs look like their owners. After that, we'll walk over to the farmers market or grocery store and buy our produce for the week.
Since I love my weekends, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite weekend outfit (polka dot top from H&M and green trousers from Anthropologie). But no outfit is complete without a touch of DIY! So today I'm sharing how I made this matching headband to go with my outfit.
Did I mention it's reversible?!
I only wore the red side of the headband in these photos, but it's totally reversible, and I found a green retro pattern to complement the polka dots, which I'm very excited about! It took me less than 30 minutes to make the headband (because my sewing skills are pretty beginner level), but I plan on making dozens and dozens of these, and I think you will, too. Two fabric quarters will give you 3-4 headbands so you get your money's worth and then some.
You will need:
- Sewing machine (or just needle and thread)
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Piece of drawing paper
- Sewing pins
- Thread (I just ended up using the beige)
- Fold-over elastic (I only used about 3 inches out of the 1 yard)
- 2 fabric quarters

Although Hurricane Odile took a major toll on the area in 2014, Cabo is now back and better than ever. Read on for my favorite picks - and if you do go, don't be surprised if you spot J Lo, Jessica Alba, or Cameron Diaz, who often vacation at this hot spot.

25 Movie Titles in Spanish That Were Legit Lost in Translation
If you've ever taken a close look at the Spanish-language titles of popular American films, chances are you've noticed that they're called something . . . else. And it does not make sense.
