The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) recently held a closing ceremony for the completion of its 2025 Series Scriptwriters Program, a virtual eight-week intensive writers lab.
According to the NHMC, the program has helped launch the careers of more than 200 Latinx writers in its twenty-plus-year history.
Coming off of a recent historical Emmy win as the first Latina to receive Outstanding Comedy Series honors, Dominican-American writer Frida Perez joined the ceremony to provide some uplifting words to the 2025 cohort.
“[Writing] is such a collaborative medium,” Perez said. “So I would really emphasize trying to make the experience of telling stories a really fulfilling and enriching one. I worked hard, I had my voice and perspective, but I wouldn't be where I am today had I not been promoted, elevated and supported. You all have such distinct backgrounds and personalities, and I really am so excited to see that on screen.”
