Mishel Prada is a Puerto Rican and Dominican American actress who starred in the Starz drama series “Vida,” the CW series “Riverdale,” and “Gigi & Nate,” and plays KD in the new prequel “The Continental: From the World of John Wick.” For Latine Heritage Month, we asked women we admire how they are prioritizing descansar and restoration amid today’s prevailing grind culture.

KD was a love letter to my mom and tias who grew up in Queens New York in the 70s and 80s. Also, a little bit of Albert Hughes’ mom as he insisted that KD smoke the same cigarettes she did, Kool menthols. He would pepper the time in between takes with these special stories about her, bring her essence into the room with us. And if you look close in some of the scenes you’ll see, I’m wearing my mom’s gold hoops. These were some of the first stills that Albert sent me and my heart skipped, because there in those frames… i could see her. That feisty spirit that always insisted I needed to play a role that required my “fuacata!” And even though I was certain i wasn’t the type of actor who would ever get hired for an action franchise, Somehow I think she made it happen. So much love to the women who raised us and taught us to be artists🌹🌹🌹

I’m so elated that I finally get to share with you how much I love these talented group of humans. In the summer of 2021, I got a call to meet with Albert Hughes and by October, we all arrived in Budapest ready to be put through “John Wick camp,” kicking ass and shedding tears. Amidst the weight of the pandemic, we discovered something truly special and joyous on those iconic sets. I witnessed each one of these people pour tremendous work, care and craft into creating this story and I’m so honored to have been inducted into the John Wick universe with them. Jess, Colin, Adam, Hubert, Kate, Ben, Ayo, Adrienne, Mark and Marina. To me working with the cast of @thecontinentaltv will always be nothing short of magical. Prepare to be sick of me 😉 These are just a few photos I rounded up but stay tuned for more! ✨🎬
