This actress first appeared on our list in 2014. Back then we took notice, as she charmed us in her roles as street-savvy Maritza Ramos on the critically acclaimed show Orange is the New Black and as BFF extraordinaire Lina on Jane the Virgin. However, in 2016 she upped her game adding published author and immigration rights activist to her repertoire. Releasing In the Country We Love: The True Story of a Family Divided, Guerrero chronicled her personal experience with immigration telling the ordeal of having her parents deported back to Colombia at the age of 14, leaving her to fend for herself alone here in the U.S. in order to pursue her dreams.
