"I am so proud of being Hispanic. My Latina is on a whole other level. Since I was younger — obviously being a part of The Cheetah Girls — being able to represent that has been the most important thing and probably the most common thread in my whole career," the famed singer tells OK!.

As for the possibility of a The Cheetah Girls 4, Bailon admits she's "always open."

Bailon recently returned as Rivera in the show's spin-off Raven's Home as the high school principal.

"I love Raven," she gushes of Raven-Symoné — who starred alongside Bailon in both the hit sitcom series and The Cheetah Girls films.

Adrienne Bailon feels 'grateful' for the impact of 'The Cheetah Girls' movies.

While fans dream of a future Cheetah Girls film, both Bailon and her admirers remain grateful for the generational impact of the movie franchise today.

"That to me is so significant. That's so fulfilling," she notes. "What's so good about it is the messaging in the film. Yeah, the songs are good. Yes, it's a fun, feel-good movie, but for me, the messages of women's empowerment, girl power and celebrating individuality and how we celebrate our differences [are most important]."

"For me, being able to represent a young Latina girl in that space, I think for a lot of people, even my curly hair at the time and speaking Spanglish, they were like, 'that's the first time I ever saw representation in that way,'" she explains.

Bailon shares how she recently "tried to play it" for her son, Ever, 3, whom she shares with her husband of nearly 10 years, Israel Houghton.

Adrienne Bailon partnered with Colgate-Palmolive and Walmart in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

The brunette beauty continues: "I love also the fact that we know how to keep a home and that we've turned everything into a fiesta. Everything is going to be a special and momentous time for us. Even if it's doing mundane cleaning on a Saturday, my mom would put on salsa music or there's Marc Anthony playing in the background and we're gonna dance and we're gonna make this a special moment as a familia 'cause that's the most important thing to us."

As she revisits her Hispanic traditions and Latina roots, Bailon says the "number one thing" she hopes to pass down to her son is her faith.

"Believing in something. That to me would be really, really important. The other thing would be to just romanticize your life. Every day wake up and make the most of it. Don't wait for a special occasion to be like, 'today's the day to celebrate,'" she adds.

"Every day that you wake up is a day to celebrate. Turn that into a fiesta. Put on the fancy shoes, put on the nice outfit that you've been waiting [to wear]. Also get clean — clean your house. I know nobody's coming over today, but act like they are," Bailon concludes.
