In the interview with Vogue México, Aparicio opens up about representing 'real women.'
"My skin, very Mexican, very Oaxaqueñan and very human from the color of my land and the diversity of its colors.
She continues to speak about getting used to life in front of the cameras and adjusting to not being around her family, whom she is really close to.
"Other faces of Mexico are now being recognized. Certain stereotypes are being broke: that only people with a certain profile can be actresses or be on the cover of magazines."

What an inspiration for all women. Keep slaying, Yalitza and congratulations on all the success.
