EXCLUSIVE: In the midst of Hispanic Heritage Month, The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts has teamed with the ArcFord Foundation for the inaugural Latinx Story Arc Writer’s Room Program, which will help create a strong television and film Latinx writer pipeline.

In a time when representation in front of and behind the camera has been top of mind in film and TV — and it all starts on the page. NHFA’s ARC Writer’s Room hopes to fuel authentic representation of the Latinx community on TV and film with their new initiative. The program will take place December 1-12 and will select five writers that will have the opportunity to participate in an intensive writing program with an experienced showrunner. The end goal of program is to have the writers pen a five-episode television series that would be developed for commercial sale.

“NHFA is uniquely equipped to bring together the best and the brightest of next generation Latino writers,” said Noel Greene, of the ArcFord Foundation. “Until more Latino writers are able to achieve representation and guild membership, Latino on-screen and behind-the-camera presence will continue to lag behind.”

“This program has the potential to serve as a real pipeline for the many capable Latino writers, waiting and ready in the wings, but lack the institutional employment to march up the ranks to showrunner,” adds Felix Sanchez, NHFA Chairman and Co-founder. “This writer’s program has a precise purpose and focus that will open doors for more Latinx writers.”

The National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts was founded by actors Jimmy Smits, Esai Morales, Sonia Braga, Merel Julia, as well as Washington D.C. attorney Felix Sanchez. The NHFA addresses the underrepresentation of the Latinx community in entertainment through initiatives like the Latinx Story Arc Writer’s Room Program as well as audience and industry outreach, content and talent development, diversity and civil rights advocacy.

In order to plan on-site clinics for groups of ten or more, state officials established the Mobile Vaccine Team Call Center via the state hotline as vaccine supply and vaccination rates increased among vulnerable populations.

Interactive books: Ensure that the books on your child's shelf are ones that will make studying Spanish engaging and entertaining. For instance, children can study words in both English and Spanish about 12 distinct places they adore with the bilingual learning book "100 Words About Places I Go." Children can learn words in two languages about things they can bring and surprises they can find when they visit the beach, school, park, farm, amusement park, and other locations. Each page has ten touch-sensitive areas that teach counting, words, and colors. Puzzles: Due to their ability to enhance cognitive function, puzzles are a great game to introduce vocabulary in both Spanish and English.

When children place or remove each piece, they will hear distinct responses that help them learn the names and sounds of the animals as well as colors, numbers, and interesting facts. The chancellor of Lone Star College, Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., stated, "Lone Star College remains committed to helping all students succeed." "This honor is a testament to our faculty and staff, who never stop providing our students with exceptional support and guidance." A small student-to-faculty ratio, a high percentage of online students, a high graduation rate, and the institution's academic influence—as measured by the number of academic contributions made by its faculty in their fields of study and the frequency with which they were cited by other academic works—are just a few of the key metrics that TexasOnlineColleges.com uses to identify academic excellence.
