The Asian American Womxn's Voice in Creative and Tech Spaces | Online

About this event

GA is hosting a panel discussion on Asian American womxn within the creative, tech, and music industries. There has long been a stereotype of the “typical” occupations that Asian Americans hold, with notions of professional interests being more inclined towards technical and scientific fields.

Today, there has been a growth in diversity and the presence of Asian Americans within the creative industry. With multiple works in film, design, and art, we have seen an increase in Asian representation in the media. From the success of films such as Crazy Rich Asians, to accolades by actresses such as Sandra Oh and Constance Wu, and the computer-animated short film, “Bao,” to win an Academy Award, there is much to celebrate from these recent achievements. And in the words of Sandra Oh, “It’s an honor just to be an Asian.”

But how do these expectations to be in the medical field, law, and service industries affect Asian American womxn in the Bay Area? Come join us to know the stories of our panel.
