Women in Animation advocates for a world where all women, nonbinary and transgender people share equally in the creation, production and rewards of animation, and provide resources and connections to make it happen. WIA is committed to making the animation industry an inclusive and supportive environment that welcomes, champions, and celebrates the unique contributions that come from individuals who bring a diversity of backgrounds, perspective, and experiences to the field.
Through our partnership, Asians in Animation members will be able to apply to WIA's Mentorship Program with a waived membership fee. We are grateful for WIA's dedication to elevating more voices through the animation industry! To find out more, head to WIA's Mentor Circle Program Website. |
