Yalitza Aparicio Martínez (Spanish: [ɟʝaˈlitsa apaˈɾisjo] ; born 11 December 1993) is a Mexican actress.[1] She made her film debut as Cleo in Alfonso Cuarón's 2018 drama Roma, which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress; Aparicio was the first Indigenous American woman to be nominated for that award. In 2019, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[2] She was also named the UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Indigenous Peoples in the same year.[3][4]
