Gold House kicks off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) with the reveal of its annual A100 List — which recognizes the 100 Asian Pacific leaders who have impacted American culture and society in the last year — as well as several special honors for transformative impact and a brand new category, New Gold to honor 10 leaders on the rise across various industries.
Top Asian Pacific organizations, creative and business leaders, and multicultural allies voted on the list. Gold House will celebrate these honorees through a slate of events from May 10 through May 11, including the A100 Honoree Welcome on May 10, exclusively for past and present A100 honorees, and the Gold Gala on May 11, the premier and most-viewed Asian Pacific celebration in North America.
Asian Pacific leaders are redefining and shaping today’s standards. Asian Pacific-led creativity continued to break records in entertainment, with the most-watched Netflix show of 2023 (The Night Agent), the most-watched Disney+ film premiere of 2023 (Elemental), the most-watched FX premiere ever on Hulu (Shōgun), the first Asian to win “Male Artist of the Year” at the People’s Choice Awards (Jungkook), the most-watched YouTube Shorts creator of 2023 (Alan Chikin Chow), and the first Asian-created and led television show to win an Emmy for Best Limited or Anthology Series (Beef). In sports, A100 and New Gold honorees represent the world’s highest-paid athlete (Shohei Ohtani), the first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals (Heung-Min Son), the first high schooler drafted number one overall to the NWSL (Alyssa Thompson), and the most-viewed Super Bowl Halftime Show prior to 2024 (choreographed by Parris Goebel).
