<strong>Gloria Calderón Kellett</strong> is a showrunner and producer who is currently, developing TV series and films for Amazon Studios through her company, GloNation. <strong>Latinx trope she'd banish forever?</strong> "I'm a little done with the gangbangers and drug dealers, I've just seen it a lot. Are there Latino gang members and drug dealers? Yes, there are. It's just when that's all you see, that's just insane. I just need other things to exist. For me it's about adding more so that you can see that there is a huge medley of experiences that American Latinos have --- all of those should be explored."

<strong>Alan Luna</strong> is a casting director for film and television. <strong>Latinx trope he'd banish forever?</strong> "There are too many stories about immigration, cartel members, cholos or us being the help. Those are not the four things we are in life. And if it has to be about one of those things, don't make it trauma porn. Make it into art."

<strong>Claudia Lyon</strong> is the Executive Vice President of Talent and Casting at CBS Television. <strong>Latinx trope she'd banish forever? </strong>"I would like Latinos to be viewed as more than one thing on television, more than one story to be told. There's so many cultures within our community that I would like to see represented, and different looking Latinos and Latinas. I don't want to see just one representation of Latinos in one story, I would really like to see a fuller, more wide ranging representation of us."

<strong>Kase Peña</strong> is a filmmaker and writer. <strong>Latinx trope she'd banish forever?</strong> "When Latinx people are portrayed as having an accent for laughs. There's nothing wrong with having an accent. Many people in this country and the whole world have accents. It's not something to be laughed at. On TV, that's the norm. So if you have an accent, you're never taken seriously. There are people who have accents who have doctorate degrees from their country. Also, something someone told me years ago was, 'You know what they say about people with accents? They speak multiple languages.' How are you going to laugh at somebody who speaks multiple languages?"
