She's been blessed with intelligence, resilience, beauty, and vitality and has proudly stood up for her Puerto Rican heritage and numerous sociopolitical causes that are intertwined with the fabric of America.

Before her Superbowl halftime show with Shakira this year, Jennifer stated, "I think it’s important in this day and age for two Latin women to be standing on that stage, when Latinos are being treated a certain way in this country, or looked at a certain way — to show that we have a really specific and beautiful culture and worth and value, and we bring something to this country that’s necessary."
