TikTok has a simple description for its new campaign: Es una cosa Latina.
That phrase, which translates to “it’s a Latina thing,” is a fitting title for the popular app’s month-long paean to Latinx identity and culture. During Latinx Heritage Month, TikTok will support its community through a series of initiatives, including a group dinner, a new batch of “Trailblazers,” and a grant program that will reward ten Latinx creators with 50,000 each.
Latinx Heritage Month begins on September 15, and TikTok is wasting no time initiating its celebration. A Visionary Voices dinner on that date is designed to bring together Latinx creators in New York City. This is the second time TikTok has hosted such an event — its first Visionary Voices gala took place in August and feted Black creators. Hosting dinners themed around specific identities is not just a TikTok thing; YouTube has hosted similar get-togethers through its Recipe for Change series.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains potential spoilers for “Sasquatch.”]
When you see animator Drew Christie’s work side-by-side, you start to see how they come from the same artist. One of the strengths of his contributions to various documentaries — from the sepia-toned inventions of Dr. John Brinkley in Penny Lane’s “Nuts!” to the eerie and ominous Mendocino forests in Hulu’s new series “Sasquatch” — is that each also ends up a key complement to the story being told around it.
His sketch stylings might carry over from project to project, but as with “Sasquatch,” the process begins with ground-up research.
“Each one is very much its own universe. I love doing tons of visual research. Basically, each project is a way to do my own graduate study programming,” Christie said. “Whatever the style or technique or the visual language, I try to cater it to the story in some way. This one, I’d always imagined a...
