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 40+ year old 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 advance Latino visibility and influence from the halls of Washington, D.C., to the studios of Hollywood. Through our media advocacy and workforce development initiatives, NHMC creates spaces where diverse creators can connect, collaborate, and thrive. Our Series Scriptwriters Program, Latinx Stream Showcase, Creators Networking Program, Careers in Entertainment Youth Program, and Media Advocacy Fellowships serve as both incubators and pipelines, preparing the next generation of storytellers, advocates, and industry leaders. Through mentorship, education, networking opportunities, and direct access to entertainment executives, these programs help transform emerging talent into lasting industry voices while expanding authentic representation across media.

We lead the work to eliminate online hate and disinformation across media platforms. We advocate in the space of Artificial Intelligence when it intersects with civil & human rights, including making sure Latino-Interest and children’s protections are included in AI initiatives and implementations. 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.

NHMC is a not-for-profit, and provides equal opportunities to all individuals without regard to race, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by law.
