Jenny Lorenzo is a Cuban-American actor, writer, and content creator, born and raised in Miami, FL, who is known for her work on We Are Mitú and is one of the original co-founders of BuzzFeed's Pero Like.
Jenny became a viral sensation with her beloved Abuela character that has garnered millions of views online along with her relatable, Latino-based content seen through the comedic and nostalgic lens of a 1st generation Cuban-American - in other words, living in the hyphen. She was nominated for a Tecla Award in 2017 for "Best Content Creator for a Digital network" and won "Best Character" for Abuela at the Tecla Awards 2018.
Last year, Lorenzo was a participant in the Women in Comedy program at YouTube Space LA in partnership with Elizabeth Banks and WhoHaHa. She was selected out of 12 women for the program and then chosen to be personally mentored by Elizabeth, herself. Recently, she wrapped on a consistently sold out spank show at Upright Citizen's Brigade called, "Wow! Que Show!" and plans to continue live performance in the coming years.
Since going solo to focus on her content in November of 2017, Jenny has developed six new characters that are being very well received on her platforms and is a recurring character on Cartoon Network's Victor & Valentino as Lupe.
