Manzano recently spoke with The Sunday Magazine's Piya Chattopadhyay about the inspiration behind Alma's Way and her career-long dedication to empowering children through television. The show follows Alma, a six-year-old Puerto Rican girl, as she works through everyday problems in her neighbourhood.
Six years after retiring from that iconic role, Manzano is building on its legacy with Alma's Way, a new animated kids' program steeped in Latino culture and diversity.
As Maria on Sesame Street, Sonia Manzano was a beloved presence in the lives of countless children for 44 years - and a beacon for onscreen representation at a time when Latino actors were few and far between on television.
