BIO

Zayda Exeliz has both writing and producing credits for previous short films accepted to local LA
film festivals and for producing short-form behind-the-scenes content for Universal Pictures. She
has a Mayan-based fantasy story THE LEGENDS WITHIN that has been a finalist in multiple
competitions and in the top 10% in Coverfly under Science Fiction writers. It is currently being
worked on as a novel, and a spinoff adaptation is being developed for a younger audience.
When she isn’t writing, she’s playing video games or watching the latest shows and movies on

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.

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
