In the 2025 Netflix romance My Oxford Year, Sofia Carson plays Anna De La Vega, an American student studying abroad at one of England’s most prestigious universities who, like Carson herself, is of Latin American descent. Anna’s Colombian, Argentine, and Cuban heritage is woven naturally into her character’s everyday life instead of being treated as a barrier she has to overcome. It’s a distinction that Carson, who has four consecutive global #1 Netflix hits to her name, says is nonnegotiable when it comes to the roles she chooses to take on.

Beyond her work on screen and in music, Carson is an advocate for young people’s education and empowerment through her roles as a U.S. Ambassador for UNICEF and the first global ambassador for the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.
