Charisse Lillie, who headed the Comcast Foundation and was the point person for organizations seeking donations or philanthropic help from Comcast Corp., is retiring in January after 12 years at the cable giant.

Hispanic power and influence is surging: 50% of recent U.S. population growth has come from Hispanics and the U.S. Latino population is expected to double within the next two generations. And today's significantly-younger, increasingly U.S. born, dynamic Hispanic population is shaping the American mainstream by maintaining strong ties to its cultures of origin, developing an "ambicultural*" personality that is at once entirely American and entirely of one's culture of origin.
NBC News
The conversation around #HollywoodSoWhite has focused attention on the need for more content and stories that focus on the Latino experience. A new production company is aiming to do that with its recent projects.
Variety
The 2016 nominees rep the most diverse field of above-the-line talent assembled in the 68-year history of the kudos, and the smiling faces on ABC's live telecast will look more like America than ever before. Viola Davis broke ground last year as the first African-American actress to win for lead actress in a drama series, for her tour de force work on ABC's "How to Get Away With Murder."

MULTICULTURAL MARKETING
Mundial and YipTV's collaboration started out of a need to find innovative ways to reach and serve Hispanic audiences who have often been abused by service providers. Latinos who want to watch their favorite sports, entertainment and news programs from back home have limited options, as many of them do not have credit cards to subscribe to OTT services, but can't afford to pay for cable, either. After investing in YipTV, Mundial took it a step further and came up with a plan to work together toward their shared objectives.
The Atlantic
American companies are obsessed with Latino millennials. Yet this fixation may lead some to overlook today's fastest-growing ethnic consumer group: Asian Americans. In 2015, they had an estimated buying power of $825 billion, which is expected to grow to $1.1 trillion in 2020, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia.
