The Latina Executives Building Hollywood's Next Generation (Blumhouse, FX, MACRO & Sage Works)
Description
Today we're serving you a special episode in collaboration with Latina Squad, the community of Latina executives launched by Christine Davila reshaping Hollywood.
Carolina sat down with three of her fellow squad members:
Julia Balleza (VP of Development and Programming, Blumhouse Television) Greta Fuentes (MACRO, where she started as Charles King's assistant the day he left WME to build the company), and Adriana Martínez Barrón (former Netflix exec, now running Stacey Abrams's production company Sage Works). We're also honored to feature Chika Igwilo, SVP of Development at FX, as our guest of honor.
Chika was awarded the Catalyst for Change award at the organization's second annual Creative Honors, recognizing her impact across two decades in the industry.
Together, we discuss the career-defining gambles they didn't see coming, what it actually means to advocate for a project no one else believes in yet, and what they hope the next generation inherits. I hope this convo fills your sails with wind!
