Kicking off AAPI month with our faves & bffs
Welcome to May and one of our favorite affinity months.
Welcome back to the group chat babes. Per usual, we had a big week at CH. We have a major immersive announcement coming soon, a new show coming out in 6 days, and I got a haircut. It's been….. a lot.
But it's officially May, which means it's time to say Happy Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month bbs!! As you know, Culture House is an intersectional, multicultural company, which means we have the distinct pleasure of getting to celebrate basically alllll the affinity months, and we love that for us and invite you to join in.
To celebrate, we're sharing a few recent AAPI led movies and shows making our favorites list! Support the content that supports you friends!! Before we get into our list, special shoutouts to the amazing friends we saw in DC last weekend, especially at the Our Voice brunch hosted by the Asian American Journalists Association, The Asian American Foundation & Enfranchisement.
We saw so many people we love and admire and whose work we are eternally grateful for: Brad Jenkins, Icon Katie Phang, Prisca Bae, Naomi Tacuyan Underwood, the Kennedy Center crew, Paulette, Van, Brady, Mackenzie, Questlove, and Marina. xoxoox.
