Why It Matters
Even though APIs are the fastest-growing racial group in the United States, and the API diaspora is reaching 5 billion worldwide, APIs are still vastly underrepresented in front of and behind the camera.

Why Female Representation Matters
To further power authentic representation of API women in media, Gold House and SeeHer have created the #WriteHerRight Guide for API Women to present creatives with thoughtful ways to portray API women on screen.

Why Names Matter
Gold House and Procter & Gamble are collaborating on the importance of names and pronunciations. P&G’s new campaign, The Name, brings awareness to issues of bias and inspire communities to work together to address them. With The Name, P&G elevates the importance of a name, and how meaningful gestures – like pronunciation and understanding its meaning – can create a greater sense of belonging for us all.
