Simu Liu, Mindy Kaling, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Yeoh, and Entertainment Weekly make Gold House A100 List

Simu Liu, Mindy Kaling, Dwayne Johnson, and Michelle Yeoh are being honored for their contributions to pop culture along with other Asian and Pacific Islander (API) professionals and organizations across several fields including business, technology, politics, and entertainment (including Entertainment Weekly's own Mary Margaret).

The four stars have been named to Gold House's 2022 A100 list, which honors individuals helping drive change, representation, and advocacy in a time when acts of violence against the API community continues, while big strides are being made (4 of the top 10 movies at the 2021 domestic box office were led by Asian writer-directors and API artists took home nearly two dozen awards at the 2022 Grammy Awards).

For the first time, Gold House — which is the leading Asian and Pacific Islander (API) changemaker community that unites, invests in, and promotes API creative and companies — is celebrating the A100 list in-person at an inaugural Gold Gala on May 21. The gala is in partnership with Meta and Proctor & Gamble and features honorees and presenters including Liu, designer Prabal Guring, actor Daniel Dae Kim, and more.

In addition to the A100 honorees, eight names (all of whom have been on the A100 list at least twice) will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. That list includes South Korean group BLACKPINK, actress Gemma Chan, recent Grammy winner H.E.R., and Raya and the Last Dragon's Kelly Marie Tran.
