The gathering, held at the iconic Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, drew a star-studded crowd of top Spanish-Language and Latine media, alongside prominent nominees, as they gathered ahead of the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which will be available for streaming exclusively on Hulu starting April 12, 2025.
The evening was hosted by comedian Roz Hernandez and featured a show-stopping performance by drag sensation Salina EsTitties, presented by Hyundai Motor America.
