According to her IMDb page, Christian Serratos has been incredibly busy in the post-Nickelodeon years. Aside from the "Twilight" films, she played Raven in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," Rosita in "The Walking Dead," and, perhaps most pertinent of all, Serratos portrayed legendary singer Selena Quintanilla in "Selena: The Series." As the actress gushed to People, "I've been listening to her since I was way below single digits. ... I've always looked up to and really admired her, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to play her." Elsewhere, Serratos is a proud working mother, sharing a pic of her breastfeeding on set to Instagram and telling disapproving followers to jog on. 

She keeps her relationship with baby daddy David Boyd, a musician, private but shares sweet glimpses into their home life every now and again. As for what Serratos still hopes to achieve in her career, she enthused to ET, "I want to tell all sorts of stories ... I think for a long time, we were only allowed to tell very specific Latin stories in roles that other people chose for us." 

The actress added emphatically, "I'm very proud of my heritage, and I want to tell stories of very strong Mexican women. I want to be able to tell stories of amazing Latin men. I want to be able to tell a story that doesn't focus on my heritage, because that's allowed. I'm allowed to do that, too."
