The nonprofit Gold House is best known for elevating films like “Parasite” and “Crazy Rich Asians” into epic blockbusters. But true representation of Asians isn’t just necessary in Hollywood; the organization is determined to see it in every industry, in every C-suite.
Gold House recently released its annual A100 list, a diverse lineup of 100 of the most impactful Asians, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) of the year. The 2021 list includes Vice President Kamala Harris, Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao, tennis champion Naomi Osaka, and co-founders of Stop AAPI Hate Cynthia Choi, Manjusha Kulkarni and Dr. Russell Jeung.
“As a 501c3 we don’t ever really make political statements, but recognizing the voices that have been particularly strong in activism has been a clear focus on this year’s list,” said Megan Ruan, co-director of Success Ventures at Gold House.
