Current Community Initiatives
Here's how you can get involved.

Community-Specific Resources

  • Our #1 priority is creating a safe space for Asians in Animation.
  • We are constantly revamping and taking suggestions for our community and its organization.
  • We are always collecting resources for Combating Anti-Asian Bias in the workplace and every day.
  • ​We are currently working on finding ways to provide more resources for our community, which are available on our website.
  • For external storytellers, we are currently compiling a list of Asian characters throughout entertainment history. By looking back in the past to understand what harmful tropes exist and how Asian characters have been represented, we can learn how to move forward in creating authentic Asian characters.

Accessible Education

  • We aim to keep providing insight into industry professionals' work through educational posts on our social media.
  • We are looking to create more language accessibility at our events.
  • With all of our educational events, we aim to have notes available if the recording is not available to be distributed.
  • In order to support the growth of our communities, we are seeking studio help to empower the next generation of creatives. Please see the link below for some ideas to help the greater BIPOC community - or learn about how you can partner with us!
  • As our full team is doing this on a volunteer basis without sponsorship, if your studio is willing to donate your Zoom account to sponsor an event, we would love to talk to you!

Asian Talent Enrichment

  • We are currently building our directory in order to create a talent pool for studios, making it easier than ever to find Asian talent, especially from underrepresented Asian backgrounds, who can speak to certain cultures and experiences.​
  • We also would like to assist and feature global talent to aid the the visa process with online articles and support. 
  • By the end of 2022, we would like to be able to put together a bi-monthly Industry Hot Sheet for up and coming artists, creators, and talent.
