    Our Mission

    Inclusion Over Representation. We're on screen and on stage more than ever before, but we're tired of playing sidekicks. It's time to take our seat at the table and showcase Asians' undeniable creative contributions to the world.

    Diversity. We are not a monolith. Let's celebrate the diversity of our cultures, experiences and creativity.

    Unity. We've come a long way building our communities and crafts. Now is the time to bring them together to celebrate and uplift us all.

    Giving Back. The LION AWARDS aims to raise $50,000 for Hate Is A Virus, supporting the mobilizers and amplifiers making a difference on the ground.
