The Gracies celebrate and honor the exceptional talent of women in media who have left an indelible mark on the industry, inspiring audiences, and revolutionizing storytelling.
Gracie Awards, an event designed to champion women’s voices, stories, and achievements in many forms of media, from screens and podcasts to radio and creative accomplishments behind the camera. Among the honorees for this year are Megan Thee Stallion, Kathy Bates, Keke Palmer, and Meruelo Media’s Letty Peniche, host of Power 106’s Brown Bag Mornings in Los Angeles.
Meruelo Media’s Vice President of Programming, Pio Ferro, said, “The Gracies honor and celebrate the best women in media, and no one is more deserving than Letty Peniche. She enthusiastically supports women, using her voice to shape the cultural and media landscape in our community.”
“For 50 years, the Gracie Awards have honored the storytellers who push boundaries and redefine what’s possible,” said AWMF president Becky Brooks. “This is more than an awards show – it is a movement that has championed inclusion, representation, and truth in the media. The women we celebrate today are shaping the next 50 years, ensuring that our narratives are not just seen or heard, but felt and remembered.”
Letty Peniche will be celebrated during the West Coast gala at the Beverly Wilshire on May 20, 2025.
