Isabela Moner Says Representation Matters Just as Much Behind The Camera

Isabela Moner Says Representation Matters Just as Much Behind The Camera

Isabela Moner takes center stool in this new cover feature for PorterEdit!

The 17-year-old Dora and the Lost City of Gold actress opened up with the digital mag about how representation matters behind the camera, as well as the hopes for her future.

On why representation behind the camera is so important: “Those people are the ones making the decisions, and it’s up to them to choose whether or not to look at only Caucasian actresses, black actresses or Hispanics. Even writers will write what they know. I don’t blame the writers because they don’t know my culture, [but] by including more [diverse] writers, that will make it easier, because you’re just speaking your truth.”

On what she would change about Hollywood: “I dislike the praise that comes with being someone who is minorly successful in the industry and wish we were treated like regular people with jobs. […] I wish [acting] were considered a normal job.”

On her hopes for her career in the future: “I want to be able to play any kind of Meryl Streep-type situation, because she’s so versatile. My one goal in my career is to confuse people – I never want to be put in a box.”
