Before she was Maria on "Sesame Street," Sonia Manzano was a kid in the South Bronx searching for someone like her on TV, and finding no one. Years later, she changed that. As Maria, Sonia chose not to play a character but to be herself, becoming the role model she never had. Now, through the children’s show "Alma’s Way," she’s helping a new generation see themselves on screen — just like she once dreamed she could.
