The actress/choreographer/ director/producer and all-around Brooklyn bombshell, who got her big break when she portrayed Tina – Spike Lee’s hot-as-a-jalapeno love interest in his 1989 cinematic ode to racial tension in New York City, “Do The Right Thing” – gave a racially tinged real-life performance as she discussed her own Puerto Rican heritage and the racial disparities that she says still confront this nation and her people.”
