There’s a new award on Xóchitl Gómez’s horizon…
The 16-year-old Mexican-American actress and Xolo Maridueña will be honored on Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C. by the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts at its Noche De Gala.
The foundation also will honor novelist writer and producer George P. Pelecanos with the 2022 Raul Julia Award for Excellence.
Gomez, star of Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and Maridueña, star of Cobra Kai, will receive the Horizon Award.
The gala raises money for the foundation’s scholarship fund for film and theater graduate students, as well as efforts to expand content and talent development opportunities for those early in their careers.
