¡Hola a todos y a todas!
We’re back with another opportunity to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. This past year has provided many new examples of the broad impact Hispanic voices have added to the landscape of movies, games, and other entertainment platforms.
About Hispanic Heritage Month[]
This observance period is held in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of the Hispanic Americans to their history, culture, and achievements. Celebrated from September 15 to October 15, the official theme for this year is Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation, with a focus to represent and welcome all voices and build stronger communities.
Here at Fandom we want to continue to amplify the voices of our community members across the diaspora through the theme of Las Voces. Join us for a month of celebration and participate in community-driven events dedicated to encouraging inclusivity and representation.
Our Initiatives[]
We are creating new ways to bring our inclusive content and events to you. Based on the theme of this year, we want to highlight the diversity of the Hispanic diaspora over the world, with a showcase of how important the contributions of this culture are to the entertainment industry.
Today we are launching a new Interactive Map, including some of the most famous IPs (movies, TV series, video games), creators and artists (actors, directors, writers, singers) from a variety of Hispanic countries. For instance, you surely know Oscar Isaac or Ana de Armas, but you might not know they hail from Guatemala and Cuba.
This is only the beginning. We are also planning new events and creating additional content. From profiles to live streams to videos, we want to reach a wide cross-section of members, readers, and visitors — so if you want to participate, don’t hesitate to reach out and tell your story (or, the story of your favorite Hispanic-related IP)!
