It’s nice to be Gina Rodriguez these days. Not only does she have a Golden Globe under her belt for her popular TV show, Jane the Virgin, but she gets to surround herself with other successful Hollywood Latinas to remind us all of the sheer fabulousness that exists and working to increase solidarity behind the scenes to make the entertainment industry better.

Among those that gathered at her home were several of Rodriguez’s Jane co-stars, as well as cast members from Netflix’s One Day at a Time, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and other Power Latinas like Rosario Dawson and America Ferrera. In addition to the above photo, Rodriguez (and several of her guests) were Instagramming live to spread the Latina love! Rodriguez pulled Fererra into the frame at one point and said something like “I’m gonna do a movie with this girl!” That, I’d love to see! (via Gina Rodriguez on Instagram)
