API Rising
Empowering Future Asian and Pacific Islander Leaders
Less than 2% of AAPI Women are in C-Suite roles. And though AAPI are have strong representation in entry level positions, we see steep declines in promotion into senior leadership starting at the manager level. But why? We think the more robust leadership development and training is much needed to aid managers transition from individual contributor roles into people managers. Additionally many AAPI feel culturally misunderstood in the workplace and yet, even with DEI efforts, they don’t feel supported.
It is an inconvenient truth that our work places don’t provide enough culturally-conscious career development for up-and-coming API. API Rising is here to help.

Asian American Dream
BY AAPI FOR AAPI
We empower the next generation of AAPI dreamers, innovators, and visionaries to fight for and achieve their unique vision of the Asian American dream.
Asian American Dream (AAD) was founded in May 2021 to address the lack of mentorship, professional development, and career advancement programming for Asian American and Pacific Islander undergraduates. Additionally, due to the harmful model minority myth, there is a widespread misconception that all AAPI are inherently well-connected and well-resourced. However, the reality is that AAPI have the largest wealth gap of any racial group with the top 10% of the income distribution earning 11x more than the bottom 10%. These two problems, exacerbate each other, making it extremely difficult for underserved AAPI undergraduates to locate and receive curated support when navigating their early career experiences.
