Impact content should be delicious AND nutritious! Wise words by Bing Chen at our #MakeGoodFamous Summit in May that we can't stop thinking about. Bing and his team at Gold House are at the forefront of this — building mainstream representation for the AAPI community, and reshaping public opinions through storytelling. His advice for the rest of us: remember that humans like “to eat candy before they take their vitamins.”
On our 5th anniversary, we’re honored to have our impact and next phase of culture-defining work in Vanity Fair! 5 years ago, Gold House began our culture-shaping work with the debut of Crazy Rich Asians, convening the community behind the first-ever #GoldOpen with Director Jon M. Chu and his cast. The film broke records and began a groundswell of excitement and investment in Asian Pacific stories that led to this year’s historic Academy Awards. Since Day 1, a lean but mighty co-founding team of passionate volunteers has invested thousands of hours connecting with hundreds of leaders while building our now history-making ventures including: - Co-Founders Kevin Lin, Janet Yang, Patrick Lee, Maggie Hsu, Sanjay Sharma, Kevin Nishimura, James Roh, Kirby Lee, Jeremy T., and Bing Chen - The first program directors Megan Ruan, Mikkoh Chen, Yao King, Kaylyn Shibata, Cindy Joung, Laura Choi, Ben Chu, CPA, Chiharu Iijima, James Kuk, Josh Jun, and Christopher Au and their 100-person global Fellowship army - The next Board Directors once we incorporated as a nonprofit including Prabal Gurung, Michelle Lee, and Daniel Dae Kim; and our newest Directors Agnes Chu and Helen Lin - And long-standing collaborations with Eric Feng, Nina Yang Bongiovi, Susie Nam, Michelle Tang, Christina Chou, Sheri Bryant, and Tim Chang Now, with a full time team, Gold House has built the leading cultural ecosystem focused on “equitable excellence”: identifying the people, projects, and platforms that impact and reach the most communities while empowering them to foster expansive socioeconomic change. Alongside key leaders and allies, we unite, invest in, and champion Asian Pacific creators and companies through innovative programs and platforms that guarantee commercial viability for cultural imperatives. We work with artists and every major media company to reshape public narratives; partner with global companies and investors to redefine existing power structures; and unite our community in celebration and excellence to reimagine possibilities. Now, we begin our next phase, Gold Bridge, to better connect industries, multicultural communities, and continents. Thank you to everyone committed to building a tomorrow for all! 🔗: goldhouse.org/vanityfair 📷: Daniel Seung Lee
