“The beauty of this panel—of this moment—is that it reminds us why we tell stories in the first place," said Brenda Victoria Castillo, President & CEO, NHMC. “Stories connect us. They help us remember who we are and imagine who we might become. That’s why community matters — now more than ever. In a world that often tries to pull us apart, it’s up to us to hold each other close. To amplify each other's voices. To remind one another that we belong. So I encourage you - champion one another. Celebrate each other’s wins. Show up for each other’s work. Because a rising tide lifts all boats.”

Last night, the National Hispanic Media Coalition and Apple TV+ held an Emmy’s House—Celebrating Latino Excellence at the Hollywood Athletic Club. More than 300 guests were in attendance, including Emmy-voting members, executives, and creators.
