By combining her beautiful, selfless act of wanting to protect the community, with the recognition of the power of digital platforms, Maddy was able to raise awareness and create effective change. Our future is bright with young activists like Maddy.
An unapologetic, versatile and bold story teller, Justin had early success as an actor for 15 years but was left wanting more. We started in the business around the same time and from firsthand experience, I'm telling you that the amount of roles for AAPI actors were slim to none. And were often lacking backstory, significance and specificity. Roles that were usually written by non-Asian writers. Justin took control of his own narrative by writing, directing and starring in his film, "Gook," a fictional take on his experience growing up in Southern California after the unjust verdict of the policemen who viciously beat Mr.
Rodney King. He pivoted tones soon after with his next film, "Ms. Purple," an intimate and raw story of a young woman left to pick up the pieces of her broken family, the duties bestowed upon children in the face of an ill and dying parent and the powerful journey of finding your way back with a sibling you thought you lost. I am in constant awe of his unwavering commitment to tell profound, authentic stories of the AAPI experience.
And with his next buzz-worthy film, "Blue Bayou," he continues to break glass ceilings, making a seat at his own damn table, paving the way for other storytellers that look like us. I immediately recognized their genius employment of Indian classical music into their covers and original songs. These twin sisters could sing before they could speak and have taken destiny into their own hands by letting their voices take them from their home in San Diego into people's hearts all around the world.
The duo draws from their Indian heritage, blending English-language pop music and Carnatic Indian classical music techniques, creating new, cross-cultural connections. I strongly believe their talent, their grace, their own backstory, their bond as sisters has all the makings of future musical sensations. They told me they are inspired by Adele and Billie Eilish, among others, and I can't wait to see those collaborations happen someday.
Witnessing him enact change by championing AAPI voices has inspired me to do the same. As a fellow Korean American, it is both liberating and comforting to know that there are allies in this world who are relentless in their pursuit to uplift our community. When I saw Stacy Chen doing this as an Asian American journalist, mixing her own personality including light-hearted irreverence in with serious subject matter, it really made me pause and smile.
And the surprise and pride I had to realize we both herald from the same high school that fosters this spirit. The hunger, the intelligence and humor, the ability to entertain while also educate and ultimately inspire others to really listen to the important conversations we are having, and learn from them. This, I believe is how we can create a world that is more accepting, a kinder and ever inspiring place to be.
She produces stories that she deeply cares about and tells these stories in such a way that we, the viewer, realize we care in the same way and want to help effect change in positive ways. Stacy Chen is just starting to make history and I look forward to watching where she goes.
I, like so many others, want to go along with her on this ride! She is an Oscar-nominated producer for producing my movie, "Minari. While we were filming "Minari" together, she gave me lots of hugs, bought me juice and let me play games on her phone.
This organization needs to be recognized for their tireless commitment to helping our community and should be the first stop for AAPIs seeking help. He started noticing students were sleeping in classrooms, student lounges and even in their cars. Once he realized that these students were houseless, he decided to form Students 4 Students, a shelter for homeless college students run entirely by their peers.
In order to finance the shelter, he became houseless himself, moving into his car for the next two years in order to help those in need. When I first met him, I knew of his tireless work for the community. But what blew me away was his humbleness and empathetic heart for everyone in need. He is essentially a rocket scientist by day and solving houselessness by night. No big deal. Jane Nguyen was living in Koreatown in when she noticed that there was a significant rise in the homeless population in her neighborhood.
A homeless shelter was proposed, but there was a huge opposition from the community. In turn, Jane and other like-minded volunteers formed Ktown for All, a volunteer-run organization aimed at helping their houseless neighbors. I would call Jane an advocate for the houseless, community organizer, leader and an activist. She simply saw a need and decided to do something to help people living in her community. Gaining insight and wisdom through simple willfull action and attending to the health and nutrition of our communities at a clean, basic level.
Massachusetts had a six-month limit at the time, after which a victim had to pay to stop the state from destroying the kit. It was worse in other states -- New Hampshire only kept the evidence for 60 days, Florida for 30 days. So Amanda decided to rewrite the law. She created a bill that established the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge.
It passed in And her work highlighting the recent crimes against Asian Americans has been seen by millions more. A few years ago, I performed in "Shabash! During that show, I met Kuhoo. I remember watching her sing a song from the musical "Monsoon Wedding," and I was instantly moved by her electric stage presence and soaring voice. Her lovely character work in that show earned her a Lucille Lortel Award for outstanding featured actress in a musical.
On screen, she has also delivered a memorable performance in "The Big Sick" and she has a new movie called "Plan B" on Hulu, which will further showcase her hysterical comedic timing and dramatic range. Kuhoo is the real deal. Throughout the film "Minari," I thought about their lives and how they'd feel.
It's hard to even imagine how much courage it took and how much sacrifice it would have required for them. I believe our generation exists with their sacrifice and effort as a foundation. That desire for the next generation to live a better life than theirs, to be happier and to be more equal continues to us today. We shall not let their efforts be in vain. I express my love and respect to these true pioneers. However, she chose to courageously defend herself and not let hate win. She now plans to donate the money to the Asian American community to fight racism.
Xiao Zhen Xie is a leading example of a modern day hero: courageous, humble and selfless. Her dedication to dismantling discrimination and racism has united many in this movement. She is also the founder and creative director of a community-driven streetwear brand called We Are Uprisers that releases apparel collections in alignment with community issues. He focuses on amplifying and mobilizing the community to uplift the work being done and build towards the society we all deserve. He seeks to inspire us to imagine the impossible because he believes it can become a reality through unified and collective effort.
The fund will bring funding and support to mental health, security, education and more on a local and national level. To me, Samantha embodies what it means to have a dream and chase it unapologetically, which I think is a great message for a lot of Asian American girls and young women who usually grow up in more conservative or traditional households.
Young women need to know that their passions and dreams are valid, and that they can achieve anything they put their minds to. Samantha had a dream when she started racing at just 16 years old -- then she ended up making history by becoming the first-ever Asian female winner in the renowned Dubai 24H race. In every cooking video, he shares a careful balance of philosophy, family, heritage and tradition, all while presenting traditional Asian cooking and ingredients to a modern audience in a seductive way.
Asian cuisine is no longer orange chicken and fried rice, but something much more magical under the careful guidance of Chef Jon Kung. I truly believe he has the power to change the perception of how the Westerners view Asian cuisine! Will Choi is the latter. Seeing the lack of Asian representation in the Los Angeles comedy scene, he created a juggernaut. It has grown into an influential platform for getting Asian American comics-actors seen by people in Hollywood in part by headlining major comedy festivals like SF Sketchfest and Clusterfest.
Not only is Will an exceptional producer, he is an exceptional performer as well. Jully Lee is a powerhouse in the Los Angeles theater scene. Someone who can effortlessly switch between drama and comedy, Jully gives the kind of performances that are permanently etched in your memory. No shrinking violet, Jully has become a leader in the community. At a recent awards ceremony, her name was mispronounced and a picture of another actress was used to represent her.
She spoke out, and with the backing of East West Players, helped to galvanize the community to reject the callous way Asian Americans are sometimes treated. She is the current artistic director of the Cold Tofu improv company, volunteers with numerous community organizations and is helping to launch a new Theatre for Youth program this year! She is quickly becoming a familiar face to television and film fans as well and she is only getting started.
I cannot wait for more of the world to know Jully Lee. Seeing their unapologetic Blackness that they portrayed made me understand that you have to be unapologetically you. Jon is an artist who refuses to be unseen. All it takes is a conversation. Jon Park as an artist and as a human, represents solidarity and togetherness while still never forgetting or leaving behind what makes you and your culture unique.
I grew up watching Meryl Streep, Judi Dench and other prolific women getting to gracefully age in this business, but my heart feels so full to see an Asian woman, like Youn , on screen. When I watch her, I see my mother, my grandmother, my future.
It feels both empowering and comforting. Using stories of extraterrestrials, fantastical aliens, colonization and mankind in its various guises as allegories, they resonate and speak equally to the journeys of immigrants, foreigners, minorities and, ultimately, anyone who finds themselves searching for a way to belong in the 21st century. Jesse Volk Richa Moorjani nominates Sheherazaad I nominate Sheherazaad , a young and multitalented South Asian American artist whose music transcends the barriers of language, with a haunting voice that stirs something deep in my soul.
Her original lyricism gives voice to the feelings of the yearning towards one's homeland, taking ownership of one's hyphenated identity and embracing the darker corners of ourselves. She blends different styles together to create experimental sounds that have never been heard before, both celebrating and evolving what we have known as South Asian music.
For so long, the diaspora has needed music that reflects and highlights our unique experience of living outside our homeland and dealing with struggles of bicultural-hood, and Sheherazaad's debut album, Khwaabistan , is like medicine for the diasporic soul.
Also, I should mention she self-produced, wrote, recorded and released her debut album all from her bedroom while quarantined in I definitely see him having a very successful career in this industry and his potential has already been shown in "Minari.
I truly wish him all the greatness the world has to offer. My second nomination is Julian Aguon, whom I first discovered on the progressive Asian American podcast "Time To Say Goodbye" talking about his new book, "The Properties of Perpetual Light," a searing multimedia rumination on colonization, the environment, love, grief and power.
Julian is an attorney by trade and, with his legal firm Blue Ocean Law, has taken the United States to court for environmental and military encroachment in Guam. And she can rap in three languages: Tagalog, Waray and English!
She is a big inspiration of mine and I really admire how she uses her lyrics to fight for social justice issues. This makes her the perfect counterpart for my song "Gold," which is an anthem for the AAPI community to uplift each other and celebrate our greatness.
A finalist at the Spotlight Awards an award also given to Misty Copeland in , a participant in the Prix de Lausanne and now a member of the San Francisco Ballet, she is also an accomplished pianist and has played in Carnegie Hall in Of Korean heritage, Petra Johnson is on a mission to become a world-class ballerina, choreographer and concert pianist. She uses her voice and platform to create as much meaningful change as possible, which is why I have decided to nominate her. Although I have only known her for a short amount of time, she has shown so much support towards me and others.
The world needs more people like Nicole! And it happened to be the best dance party in town. The experience -- and the energy -- was sublime. It changed my life to experience that freedom. I was inspired to come out at work, as a queer Asian director. Many readers discovered "Interior Chinatown" during a global pandemic, social justice movement and rise in Asian American hate crimes. Charles Yu does a wonderful job of using humor, heart, truth and inspiration to spark conversation.
Throughout her career, Yutani has been at the forefront of championing diverse and independent voices in the film industry. In her role as director of programming for the Sundance Film Festival, Yutani fosters developing talent, giving artists the chance to bring their work to a wider audience. Yutani's approach to programming is driven by her creative instincts and tastes that span genres. In just the last year, longtime Sundance-supported filmmakers Isaac Lee Chung and Shaka King brought their respective films -- "Minari" and "Judas and the Black Messiah" -- from premieres at the festival on to both critical and commercial acclaim and Oscar wins.
Through Yutani's dedicated work, up-and-coming filmmakers are given a broad platform to tell their unique and poignant stories. She has also led the creation of Sundance Film Festival: Hong Kong, broadening the scope of the festival and its reach beyond just US borders. Thank you, Kim! In the midst of a pandemic when restaurants were particularly hard hit, Simon chose to give back to his community as he was also trying to figure out how to keep his business alive.
Cote raised money for Asian American charities in the midst of rising hate crimes. The restaurant raised money to support Black-owned businesses last summer as protests across the country called for racial justice.
They also made sure their fellow neighbors had the most basic need met: food. Simon told Men's Journal, "With so much suffering, we increased our charitable efforts to our community. No matter what, we are New Yorkers. As a team, this was a real turning point for us emotionally. Caring for people around us gave us a sense of purpose. The restaurant is open again. They have been shipping meal kits across the country through Goldbelly for much of the pandemic.
And Simon was even able to open up a new restaurant in Miami -- something he had planned to do before the pandemic hit. Lim is trying to fill that gap with knowledge and guidance. A true AAPI inspiration.
They continued bringing relief in places like Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and various parts in the United States. It was his idea. Now retired, he delayed his retirement by a year to make sure this task force was up and running. His dedication and devotion to the AAPI community is what drove him. He always put the community first.
Never off the clock, always serving. Both of these two have been vital bridges between the community and city services. Young people aren't just activists but activating others to hold rallies, starting movements or just offer words of support during these times. Eventually, the older generation will come around, as my mom did when months later she told me she was proud of the work I was doing.
Speaking out is a powerful thing. ABC News Photo Illustration Reena Roy nominates Sahaj Kohli and Nik Sharma In a time when so many have been struggling with their mental health, Sahaj Kohli is trying to normalize getting help, which can often be stigmatized and inaccessible, particularly in communities of color. Sharma fuses the flavors he grew up eating in Mumbai with a modern American twist. The Chinese-American rapper from Hubei, but based in New York has spent the past year not only amplifying his own community, but holding them accountable, too.
As protests ensued following the death of George Floyd, Bohan challenged Asian-Americans working in the hip-hop industry who were profiting off the historically Black artform, to put their money where their mouth is, and match donations to Black Lives Matter movement. Bohan forced uncomfortable conversations - causing members of the Asian hip-hop community to confront their own privilege and outwardly acknowledge their predecessors not just performatively, but financially.
As attacks increased on Asian-Americans in the past several months, Bohan was back speaking out through his music and on social media against the hate and violence maligning Asian-Americans across the country. For 30 years, they built a humble and popular dry cleaning business in Brooklyn, and raised their children in the shop.
They were living the American dream. When COVID shut down their store and they were left with no means for survival, they did not despair. They turned their talents for tailoring into sewing masks. Panicked New Yorkers could not get enough masks in the beginning of the pandemic, so, the Las came to the rescue.
The mom-and-pop business has donated more than 10, masks while not knowing how they would pay their rent or feed their family. They lost weight and sleep. But they did not lose their faith. A year later, they are now open again. But business has not returned, since most folks are still working from home.
The Las find themselves on the brink of losing everything. Lily has carpal tunnel from sewing so many masks. As dark as tomorrow looks, they have no regrets. They spent their confinement giving to others. So even if their second home, their precious dry cleaning shop, will have to close, they remain deeply grateful they were able to end their careers on such a beautiful note. That is their American story.
The video of the daylight attack went viral, not just for its brazenness, but because three men in a lobby failed to help the victim. One even closed the door as a barely conscious Vilma struggled on the sidewalk. They will use their experience to be part of a movement for change and hope to influence those who are victimized or witness any people being targeted by bias crimes to speak up. Yoko Furuya Dr. Yoko Furuya is quite simply a medical hero. Furuya, a first-generation Japanese American, is the chief epidemiologist and medical director of Infection, Prevention and Control at NewYork-Presbyterian hospital in New York City and she is one of the best in her field.
She played a critical role during the pandemic in understanding how coronavirus affects the body. She suddenly found herself sacrificing time with her family and working endless hours to develop life-saving hospital guidelines, such as what's the most protective PPE? And how to test and screen sick patients? What do health care workers do if they feel sick? Those were all questions that Dr. Furuya researched and solved. Her protocols remain in place and are constantly evolving. Last spring while Dr.
COVID ruined my life. I want to punch you in the face. Furuya said nothing. She was far too scared and worried about her safety. Why are you yelling at me? What am I doing to you? And yet, I was being blamed. He dedicated his life to sharing his love of the Asian culture through the teachings of Chinese martial arts, earning the highest of accolades and the following of tens of thousands of students from around the world. He would not see his family again until he was 50 years old.
His father had long passed. His mom, old and frail, held on to see her oldest child one more time. She passed a day later. For close to four decades, my dad humbly and quietly taught thousands of students in America the love of Chinese martial arts, never realizing he was indeed making history along the way.
He passed away before the pandemic, but his inspiration lives on in all of his students and in me. Lesson 3: The Model Minority Image Another factor that comes into play is the image of Asian Americans as the model minority: smart and high achieving, but also quiet, passive, and obedient. While it is true that on the aggregate level, Asian Americans as a collective group outperform Whites on many measures of socioeconomic achievement, when we look beneath the surface, we see that there are notable differences between ethnic groups some Asian immigrant groups are more self-selective in terms of their human capital while others are more likely to be involuntary refugees.
Further, generalizing the seemingly positive belief that Asian Americans are successful puts extraordinary pressure on all Asian Americans to live up to those standards. This resentment leads me to my final lesson. It is an image that frequently gets conjured up in times of economic recession and especially when Americans perceive others to be benefiting and prospering at their expense. With the economic and political emergence of Asian countries such as Japan, China, and India in recent decades and the concurrent decline of U.
That is, foreign vs. The sad part of this episode is that she is certainly not the first person to engage in racism against Asian Americans and alas, she will not be the last.
