Special 06: Latinas Leading Hollywood
The Truth About Being a Latina Executive in Hollywood
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we recorded a special roundtable episode to amplify three powerhouse Latina executives reshaping Hollywood.
Erika Kennair: Head of Scripted for Mediapro Studios. Created NBC's Writers on the Verge, which helped launch many, including Lauren LeFranc, showrunner of the Emmy award-winning series The Penguin.
Sonia Almanza Gambaro: Producer and President of Pollinate Entertainment. Executive Producer of Acapulco for Apple TV+
Rocio Melara: Producer and former executive at Lena Waithe's Hillman Grad.
We get into the juicy bits of what it's like to be the only Latina in the room, authentic representation beyond stereotypes, and how #LatinaSquad (shoutout Christine Davila) is changing the game for executives across the industry.
Tune in to this crucial conversation about power, persistence, and community.
