    Daniel Dae Kim, Candace Say

    Actor and producer Daniel Dae Kim testified twice before the U.S. Congress within six months to demand tangible resources for Asian Americans, citing severe underrepresentation in corporate and entertainment executive roles despite comprising over 12% of Fortune 500 workforces. By highlighting the disparity between the community's workforce presence and their 1.5% share of executive positions, Kim argued that the initial legislative resolution was insufficient to address systemic racism and the "model minority" myth. His advocacy, rooted in personal experiences of prejudice and a career defined by fighting for equal compensation, seeks to advance new bills that provide practical solutions for the nation's 23 million Asian Americans.
