Representation In Entertainment

A new report from USC's Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that Asian and Pacific Islanders accounted for less than 6 percent of speaking roles and less than 4 percent of leads and co-leads in Hollywood films. The report’s key findings show that Hollywood is failing to meaningfully represent API while at the same time continues to peddle harmful stereotypes of the community. Michelle Sugihara is the Executive Director of the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE). She joins #FeminismToday to share CAPE’s vision to advance representation, and the new wave of activism inspiring films, and uplifting the voices of women and non-binary talent in Hollywood.
