According to NALIP Executive Director Kathryn F. Galan, the organization advances Latino progress in multiple ways. "NALIP makes sure that artists are trained and supported to increase the quality and quantity of images by and about Latinos -- everywhere you see media," she says. "Writers and directors, producers and performers of films, television and documentaries are bettering themselves and improving the images of Latinos -- so when you see great shows such as Ugly Betty and Cane, or movies like WALKOUT, you are seeing American Latinos finally telling our stories."
