CAPE's #IAm Campaign celebrates AAPI role models

AAPI artists and entertainers assemble for original webseries and mini-documentaries



In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) has launched the CAPE #IAm Campaign, an awesome webseries putting the spotlight on AAPI personalities and role models in media and entertainment.

The campaign features a scripted webseries and nineteen mini-documentaries featuring dozens of stars like Michelle Phan, Steven Yeun, Carrie Ann Inaba, Harry Shum Jr., Lisa Ling, Jeremy Lin and more. I have the honor of somehow getting included in the mix with these awesome people. Whaaaat.

First, here's the #IAm campaign trailer:

Recipes From My Home Kitchen by Christine Ha

If you tuned in to season three of the Fox cooking competition MasterChef, you were probably enthralled by the inspiring rise of contestant Christine Ha, a home cook who wowed the judges with her Vietnamese-inspired comfort dishes and some surprising skillz in the kitchen -- despite being legally blind.

As the winner of MasterChef, one of her prizes was a cookbook deal. Christine Ha's book, Recipes from My Home Kitchen: Asian and American Comfort Food, is out on shelves now.
