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:
