Latina

"Latina" refers to women or girls of Latin American descent, encompassing those from countries in Central and South America, as well as parts of the Caribbean. The term highlights cultural and ethnic identity, and is often used in contrast to "Latino," which is used for men or as a gender-neutral term. It embraces diverse backgrounds, languages (particularly Spanish and Portuguese), and traditions. In broader contexts, "Latinx" is also used to include non-binary individuals. These terms reflect the rich cultural heritage and varied experiences of individuals from Latin American backgrounds.
