NHMC Establishes First Ever Visionary Alliance

NHMC’s Visionary Alliance consists of leaders in the creative space who support NHMC’s mission throughout the year. Members will also support NHMC’s advocacy to connect, collaborate, and create opportunities for Latine talent in the entertainment industry through the Series Scriptwriters program and the Latinx Stream Showcase.

“We are elated that some of the most talented and influential voices in the entertainment world are part of our first ever Visionary Alliance,” said Brenda Victoria Castillo, President & CEO, National Hispanic Media Coalition. “These members are visionaries in their own right who have paved their own lanes in this industry and throughout their careers have been champions for what we stand and advocate for every day. We are committed to continuing the work in uplifting Latine creatives, while also advocating for representation and inclusivity throughout multiple industries and within our government.”

Through traditional and social media, events, advocacy, and more, Alliance members are provided opportunities to emerge themselves in NHMC’s social justice work, engage with supporters to amplify its impact, and pursue NHMC’s mission of ensuring Latine representation is more than just a set of initiatives, but part of the framework of major organizations around the country.

Netflix Created by Initiative

To identify talent, NHMC joined forces with Netflix and five other leading organizations who are at the forefront of creating access to underrepresented creators within the industry. The program is designed to ensure underrepresented and historically excluded talent are set up for success beyond the writers’ room. The development deals provide these writers with the opportunity to go through the studio development process and hone their projects alongside Netflix executives from the series and film teams.
