If you haven’t seen Jordan Peele’s latest work of art, Nope should be your next movie night. Aside from the mysterious extraterrestrial horror that will have you at the edge of your seat, what really makes this film shine is Keke Palmer.
‘Encanto’s’ Oscar win shows those in power should do everything they can to ensure that media is a true reflection of humanity’s multiculturalism.
Latina representation is seriously lacking in Hollywood. That’s why we give so much love, admiration, and appreciation to the actresses who have broken barriers and been recognized for their stellar work. In the acting world, an Oscar or an Emmy is a huge accomplishment – proof that your work is great and that your peers recognize it. That’s why I wanted to highlight the Latina actresses who have received one of these statuettes for their work. Here’s to many more Latinas joining their ranks!

The Emmys (and Hollywood in general) has a race problem — even if the 2020 nominations are a step in the right direction. So how do we solve it?
We’re disappointed but we’re not surprised. Yet again 2020 is another year with no Latinx people getting Emmy nominations. It’s not that we haven’t tried – 2019 featured some amazing talent. From MJ Rodriguez’s iconic role as Blanca in the critically acclaimed Pose to Julissa Calderon’s stand out performance in Gentified, this year was filled […]
It’s the first week of 2020, and as a new year begins, so does award season. As many of us are gathering our hopes and dreams for 2020, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association reminded us what we already know: we have our work cut out for us. As has been widely reported, no women were […]
There were many beautiful moments at the 2019 Emmy’s, but we couldn’t help but notice that Latinas were not just absent, but ignored.
