Eva Longoria and baby Santiago had a powerful meeting! The actress and her little boy shared a special moment with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. On Friday, March 1, the Telenovela actress sat down with history-making Latina for a chat about her new children’s book Turning Pages: My Life Story, in Washington, D.C. Santi had a front row seat for the special occasion, even stealing the show. “What an honor to interview Justice Sotomayor again for her new book, Turning Pages,” the 43-year-old wrote. “I am constantly inspired by her story and her achievements and her beautiful heart and soul.”

(Here she is answering questions for young, wise Latinas) #LatinaEmpowerment.” Eva also took to her Instagram stories to share a sweet picture of Santi and Sonia’s meeting. “#SoniaSotomayor,” the caption on the picture read. “Santi likes her better than me.” Sonia, who is the first Latina/Hispanic Justice, wrote Turning Pages to share her story. The Puerto Rican lawyer – whose book is in English and Spanish – told the audience full of young Latinas that she wanted them to feel inspired by her journey.

When I thought about middle school kids, I thought about me as a child, and I realized that that there weren’t a lot of books – when I was growing up – about people who looked like me,” Sonia told the crowd. “I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if for young readers, I could write a book and tell them that you can have a special life, even if sometimes some hard things happen to you in life.”
