GLAMOUR’s Women of the Year 2023 global honouree and UK Impact Award winner, America Ferrera, 39, is a producer, director, award-winning actress, and co-founder of Harness and Poderistas, two non-profit organisations for social change.
Here, America reveals how she has united her two passions – acting and activism – to impact society. As told to Emily Maddick When I was five years old, I declared to my mother that when I grew up, I wanted to be both an actress and a human rights lawyer.
So, I became very passionate about democracy and elections, and that’s how I got proximate to the issues of environmental racism and access to education, reproductive freedom, and bodily autonomy. All these issues mattered to me and connected to me as a woman, and as a person who wants to see the true empowerment of families and communities who are often left to fend for themselves.
