"Seeing yourself represented on the screen can really alter the course of your artistry," Belissa Escobedo, the Mexican American actress who stars as Izzy in "Hocus Pocus 2," says. The sequel to the beloved franchise introduces us to a new group of teens with their own spiritual practices, but the portrayal of witchcraft and brujería as dark and evil is a one-sided, narrow view of spirituality. Escobedo opens up about her own experiences with real brujas, and we also spoke to spiritual mentor Zayda Rivera about the representation of Latinx spirituality in media. See what they told us at the 🔗 in bio.
