“True Detective” showrunner Issa López and multihyphenate Harvey Guillén are among the notables set to be honored next month by the National Hispanic Media Coalition at its annual Impact Awards gala.
The advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. will also pay tribute to director Fede Alvarez, athlete Tatyana Ali, the Los Angeles Football Club and streamer Tubi. Actress Annie Gonzalez and Mayan Lopez are set to host the June 14 ceremony, to be held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.
“We are honored to celebrate these powerful figures who represent the present and future of the entertainment industry,” said Brenda Victoria Castillo, President & CEO of the NHMC. “This year’s honorees embody where our community is headed and are pushing their industries forward simply by taking up space and using their platforms to uplift other Latine creatives. This year more than ever, it is imperative that we continue to celebrate our Latinidad in all aspects of our society, and NHMC is committed to ensuring that our community is recognized – not just at our gala, but in every space.”
Guillén is known for his work on FX’s comedy series “What We Do in the Shadows.” Alvarez’s latest film, “Alien: Romulus,” is set for release in August. Ali will be recognized for her advocacy work in the area of maternal health and reproductive rights. The Los Angeles Football Club will receive the community impact award while Tubi is getting the nod for showcasing content that reflects the authenticity and diversity of Latino experiences.
