Linzy Beltran

Writer
BIO

Linzy Beltran is a first-generation, Salvadoran-American comedy writer and actor from Houston, Texas. Much of her work is inspired by a very sheltered upbringing by two parents who survived the Salvadoran Civil War and who are 17 years apart. She attended a Catholic Church for the first 10 years of her life. After deciding that the Catholic Church didn’t hit hard enough, her family joined a Pentecostal church and a young Linzy got very into it. (Think Footloose but more Latinos) At 18, Linzy moved to Austin for college, leaving the church behind, but keeping the guilt.

Linzy became a late bloomer but thanks to therapy and the realization that her Latinidad and her chubby body was beautiful, she met her one (and accidentally only) partner, Ed. They got married days before the Covid shutdown of 2020 and have been living a pandemic honeymoon with Ed and her two pups, Rosie and Stanley. Linzy relocated to Los Angeles in 2022.

National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) is a woman-led 501(c)(3) non-profit, nonpartisan, civil and human rights organization that was founded to eliminate hate, discrimination, and racism toward Latino and marginalized communities.

We educate and increase Latino visibility from our policy work in Washington, D.C., to our media advocacy work in Hollywood, where we connect, collaborate, and create with talent within the entertainment industry.

We lead the work to eliminate online hate and disinformation across media platforms. We advocate for the Affordable Connectivity Program, Lifeline Program, Net Neutrality protections, and closing the digital divide for Latino and other marginalized communities. NHMC works in partnership with other social justice organizations to safeguard democracy in the United States of America.
