“We are honored to celebrate these powerful figures who represent the present and future of the entertainment industry. This year’s honorees embody where our community is headed and are pushing their industries forward simply by taking up space and using their platforms to uplift other Latine creatives,” NHMC president and CEO Brenda Victoria Castillo said in a statement. “This year more than ever, it is imperative that we continue to celebrate our Latinidad in all aspects of our society, and NHMC is committed to ensuring that our community is recognized – not just at our gala, but in every space.”
The celebration spotlights individuals making an impact to shift societal narratives surrounding the Latine community, in line with the NHMC’s overall mission to encourage accurate, fair and positive representation in media.
