Jessica Alba is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Siempre Majur Magazine. In the accompanying article, the actress and mother to 19-month-old daughter Honor talks about reconnecting with her Mexican heritage and raising her daughter to respect her multicultural background.
Some highlights from the interview:
On her recent decision to hire a Hispanic studies professor to teach her and Honor Spanish:
"God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual. But it wasn't to be."
On the hurt she felt after the revelation at age 18 that she did not speak Spanish:
"I tried to explain to [journalists] that in this country I'm considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I identify with Mexicans. It's in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish."
On the one thing she would like to change about herself:
"[The ability to] turn my brain off every once in a while. I'm too analytical."
