If Rosa is one thing, she’s extra. With streaks of highlighter, bronzer stamped on her cheeks, and one fake eyelash upside down, Rosa truly is a queen.

Martinez has so far made 15 videos as Rosa, and TikTok users can’t stop dueting them. Users are dueting the videos to share relatable moments that happen in every friendship, especially among young Latina women, and many are using a FaceTime filter to create their “conversations.”

Another user, @marlenedizzle, is one of Martinez’s most popular collaborators.
