Jennifer Lopez
Is there anyone more independent than La Lopez? We think not!
Shakira
The Colombian superstar knows that in order to make a difference in the world, you have to do it yourself. Shaki is one of the greatest philanthropists of this, or any other generation!
Eva Longoria
Her highly publicized divorce from Tony Parker didn't slow Eva down one bit. The "Desperate Housewives" star is now a producer and her first show ("Devious Maids") is heading to Lifetime in 2013! Eva is also a national co-chair for Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Not too shabby!
Penelope Cruz
The Oscar-winning Spanish actress is a creative force to be reckoned with!
Cameron Diaz
She's one of the biggest movie stars in the world and part of the reason is that the half-Cuban actress never settled for the role of "girlfriend" or "long-suffering wife." Cameron Diaz is a versatile actress and a badass on-screen and off!
Salma Hayek
When Salma wanted more Latinos on TV, she took matters into her own hands and produced ABC's "Ugly Betty." She also produced the 2002 film "Frida," which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Salma is the quintessential independent woman!
Rebecca Lobo
The New York Liberty Center was one of the most popular basketball players who helped launch the WNBA in its inaugural season. She's also a member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle dies in every movie she's in--by choice! Is there a bigger badass than the half-Puerto Rican, half-Dominican actress in Hollywood? We think not!
Sofia Vergara
The Colombian star is as opinionated and outspoken in real life as she is on ABC's "Modern Family" and we love her for it!
Jessica Alba
There's no harder role than being a mom and Jessica Alba is a great one!
Zoe Saldana
She's the female star of the highest grossing movie of all time (James Cameron's "Avatar") as well as the big-budget "Star Trek" franchise. Translation? Zoe is a Hollywood A-lister!
Eva Mendes
The beautiful Cuban actress is reportedly dating the world's sexiest man (Ryan Gosling!) but she isn't the type to depend on a man--Eva is a movie star and one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood!
Selena Gomez
Like Eva, Selena has a super famous boyfriend (Justin Bieber). But Selena is an independent girl and with a hot movie career, a music career, a clothing line ("Dream Out Loud" at K-Mart) and a new perfume, Selena might just be busier than her man!
Demi Lovato
Brave--that's the best way to describe the new "X-Factor" judge. Last year, Demi opened up to the world about her struggle with depression and bipolar disorder in the hopes that her story would help others. She's both independent and brave!
Victoria Justice
The 19-year-old actress already has a hot career as the star of Nickelodeon's hit show "Victorious" and she's getting ready to add a debut album to her resume.
Bella Thorne
She's only 14, but Bella already talks like an adult and she's great at balancing her busy career with her life as a normal, down-to-earth teenager!
Naya Rivera
The half-Puerto Rican actress/singer has made it her mission to help the LGBT community by being a strong advocate for gay rights both on-screen (as Santana Lopez on "Glee") and off.
Jessica Sanchez
She may not have won "American Idol" season 11, but powerhouse singer Jessica Sanchez will always be a winner to us!
Jasmine Villegas
Her Twitter followers call themselves "Jasminators" and they follow Jasmine's every move. Why? Because the half-Mexican singer is sweet, talented and a great example of what it means to be an independent woman!
America Ferrera
Whether she's playing the lead on a hit show ("Ugly Betty") or endorsing a candidate for President (Hillary Clinton), America Ferrera is a natural born leader and an independent thinker!
Aubrey Plaza
She's simply hilarious!
Seychelle Gabriel
The "Falling Skies" star is equal parts talent and beauty.
Madison de la Garza
The 10-year-old "Desperate Housewives" star is wise beyond her years.
Alexa Vega
The "Spy Kids" actress isn't afraid to take on challenging roles like that of real-life teenager Gaby Rodriguez, who faked her pregnancy during her senior year of high school, in the Lifetime movie "The Pregnancy Project."
La La Anthony
She's married to NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, but La La Anthony has always had her own things going on. A successful MTV VJ, La La is now an actress and she has her own cosmetics line for Afro-Latinas!
Josie Loren
She stole the show on ABC Family's hit show "Make It Or Break It" as gymnast Kaylie Cruz and it's obvious why: Josie Loren is fearless!
Nathalia Ramos
The star of Nickelodeon's first telenovela ("House of Anubis") Nathalia Ramos is a free spirit and one of the brightest young stars in Hollywood.
Maiara Walsh
The "Desperate Housewives" star is a human rights activist, and spends much of her time volunteering and putting together community projects.
Sara Paxton
She kicks major ass in movies like "Last House on the Left" and "Shark Night: 3-D," which makes sense, since Sara has a kick-ass personality in real life!
Dominik Garcia-Lorido
She's Andy Garcia's daughter, but Dominik Garcia-Lorido isn't relying on her father to make her a star. The independent Latina landed a role on the Starz drama "Magic City" all on her own.
Francia Raisa
Independent spirit? CHECK! "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" star is free-spirited and confident.
Camila Belle
Want to know why the Brazilian beauty always looks the best on the red carpet? It's because her style is all her own. Camila is very much her own (independent) woman.
Rebecca Black
OK, so her song "Friday" wasn't exactly well-received. But Rebecca Black doesn't seem fazed by criticism...she's pretty badass if you ask us!
Christina Milian
The actress and Socia Media Correspondent for NBC's "The Voice" is beautiful and sweet, but she's also a tough and hardworking single mom who does a great job of balancing her career and motherhood.
April Lee Hernandez
April Lee Hernandez not only survived a life-threatening experience with domestic violence, but now the "Dexter" star is helping other women do the same thing by speaking out about her experience. She is a role model, an inspiring Latina and a free spirit.
Kat Von D
Is there anyone in Hollywood who's as opinionated and independent as the Argentinean tattoo artist? We think not!
Alexis Bledel
She charmed millions as the sweet and intelligent Rory Gilmore on the hit dramedy "Gilmore Girls," and in real life, Alexis is just as bright as her bookworm TV character.
Odette Annable
Odette has starred in comedies ("You Again"), thrillers ("The Unborn") and hit TV dramas ("Brothers and Sisters," "House'). So how does she get so many great roles? It's because Odette is loveable, sweet, and beautiful!
Rocsi Diaz
The former "106 & Park" host takes mentoring young girls very seriously. Rocsi donates her time to teaching young women about careers in journalism and she's also part of Barack Obama's re-election campaign. We love her!
Rosario Dawson
She started Voto Latino and followed through on it. 'Nough said!
Sara Ramirez
Sara has said that she's "not very cookie cutter" and that's what we love most about her. Sara is sweet, kind and she's always willing to stand up for what's right, like when she appeared in PSA's for the LGBT community.
Ana Ortiz
Like Sara, Ana Ortiz has also used her celebrity to help support the LGBT community. She's a great role model and human being.
Lauren Velez
The "Dexter" star is always looking for ways to support the Latino community, whether it's representing for Afro-Latinas on television or starring in an off-Broadway play about the life and times of Latina icon, La Lupe!
Cristina Aguilera
Just call her Ms. Independent!
JoAnna Garcia Swisher
She's an American sweetheart!
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
Jaimie is a wise Latina. In fact, she actually wrote a book called: "Wise Girl: What I've Learned About Life, Love, and Loss," in 2002.
Valerie Cruz
She's had roles on hit shows like "Nip Tuck," and "True Blood" and Valerie Cruz has always delivered great performances!
Camille Guaty
Regardless of how busy she's been in her career, Camille has always found time to donate money and goods to various charities.
Julie Gonzalo
This proud Latina is known for her scene-stealing roles in "Freaky Friday" and on TV's 'Veronica Mars."
Lana Parrilla
She plays the evil queen on ABC's hit drama "Once Upon A Time,' but in real life Lana Parrilla is sweet as candy!
Morena Baccarin
Mention her name to any sci-fi fan anywhere, and you'll see that Morena Baccarin is the ultimate badass!
