Sonia Manzano
For nearly 5 decades, Sonia Manzano played the part of Maria on Sesame Street. She was the first Latina on the show – it was a big step forward for Latinas on TV! In 2021, she launched her own show called Alma’s Way. It’s an animated kids series about Alma Rivera, a 6-year-old Puerto Rican girl living in the Bronx. This conversation was originally published in October of 2021. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy
