The Golden Globes aired over the weekend and break out actress Gina Rodriguez is making headlines for her speech at the globes. The young actress is the first ever to take home a globe for the CW.

Rodriguez was the winner for Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globes. As a first-time nominee Rodriguez beat out Lena Dunham ('Girls'), Edie Falco ('Nurse Jackie'), Julia Louis-Dreyfus ('Veep'), and Taylor Schilling ('Orange Is the New Black') for the popular trophy.

'Jane the Virgin' is an American television series that debuted in 2014 and tells the story of a religious young Latina woman who vows to save her virginity until marriage. Her dream is shattered when a doctor mistakenly artificially inseminates her during a checkup.

An emotional Rodriguez walked to the podium and began her speech by saying "Thank you God for making me an artist." She then thanked her cast and crew. "Thank you to my mom and my dad for telling to dream big, and never stop dreaming...This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes," She continued.

The American actress of Latina descent went on to say that every day her father encouraged her to say the words "Today's going to be a great day. I can and I will." She powerfully ended her speech directing her final words to her dad, "Well dad, today's a great day! I can and I did," she declared.

During a past interview with Google Plus, Rodriguez talked about how much she has prayed for the show to be well received and after her big win it is evident her prayers are being answered.

Rodriguez is apparently becoming well-known for her unforgettable speeches because this summer, the actress also made headlines at TCAs with her comments on cultural identity and what 'Jane the Virgin' means to her. Read the speech taken from BuzzFeed below:

"I feel like there's a perception that people have about Latinos in America specifically - somebody growing up in Chicago, English being my first language, Spanish being my second - that we are perceived a very certain way.

Our stories have been told, and they're not unmoralistic, you know, being a maid is fantastic. You know, I have many family members that have fed many of their families on doing that job, but there are other stories that need to be told. And I think that the media is a venue and an avenue to educate and teach our next generation. And, sadly, right now the perception they have of Latinos in America are very specific to maid, landscape, pregnant teen. Mind you, I am playing pregnant but not a teen.

I didn't become an artist to be a millionaire. I didn't become an actor to wear Louis Vuitton. I have to give this dress back when we're done. I became an actor to change the way I grew up. The way I grew up, I never saw myself on screen. I have two older sisters. One's an investment banker. The other one is an doctor, and I never saw us being played as investment bankers. And I realized how limiting that was for me. I would look at the screen and think, 'Well, there's no way I can do it, because I'm not there.' And it's like as soon as you follow your dreams, you give other people the allowance to follow theirs.

And for me, to look on younger girls and to say, 'Well, Gina's like me, maybe not necessarily the same skin color, maybe not necessarily the same background, but like that's me. I'm not alone. I can do it too.' So every role that I've chosen has been ones that I think are going to push forward the idea of my culture, of women, of beauty, my idea of liberating young girls, of feeling that they have to look at a specific beauty type. And I wasn't going to let my introduction to the world be one of a story that I think has been told many times.

I wanted it to be a story that was going to liberate young girls and say, 'Wow, there we are too, and we're the doctors, and we're the teachers, and we're the writers, and we're the lawyers, and I can do that too. And I don't have to be a perfect size zero. I can be a perfect size me.' And that's what I live. So Jane, I waited for her patiently. And now she's here. And thank you for being here with us. Because this is a dream come true to me."
