"  My feet hurt, my neck aches and yet I feel more alive than ever. For the past few days I have been at Hispanicize - THE hottest (literally it&amp;#039;s in Miami! ) annual Latino media and trends conference. Running in heels from panel sessions to parrandas here are just a few highlights.  N ight one kicked off an exclusive red carpet screening of the much anticipated flick Filly Brown starring newbie actress Gina Rodriguez, screen legends Edward James Olmos, Lou Diamond Phillips and the late Jenny Rivera. It&amp;#039;s the story of how an East LA chicana rapper (Rodriguez) finds her own strength and inner voice amidst some serious drama for your mama.  &amp;quot;Growing up in a Puerto Rican neighborhood in Chicago I was pretty much raised on hip-hop,&amp;quot; Rodriguez says. Let me tell you ladies: her rhymes are on point in this film. She spent a month alone recording tracks and studying the rapping skills of Queen Latifah, De La Soul and Foxy Brown. Circle your calendars for April 19th when Filly Brown hits theaters! Check out the official trailer. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
