Cafecito with Nickelodeon Animation Studio

Latinx identity is not a monolith. We're part of a multiracial ethnic group that speaks hundreds of languages and encompasses a multitude of cultures. Some of these identities within being Latinx have been uplifted, while others have not. Time to dig deeper. Nickelodeon Animation Studio's VP of Recruiting and Talent Development Camille Eden will delve into thoughtful conversation with DiverseToons Co-Founder. Monique Henry-Hudson, getting at the roots underpinning access and representation in animation and how navigating intersectional identities -- such as being an Afro-Latina woman -- influences those opportunities.
