Celebrate AAPI heritage month with our newest exclusive speaker, Nancy Wang Yuen
/
Despite being known as the “model minority,” stereotypes about Asian-Americans still hold them back in the workplace; although a valued part of the workforce at large, they are not well-represented as c-suite leaders and often constrained by job roles based on those stereotypes. In fact, in a recent survey, almost 70 percent of Asian-Americans said they believe business has ignored the problem of racism in their community. But how can we combat the rising rates of discrimination against this group? With her expertise in diversity and inclusion, Nancy Yuen can give your team the right tools to not only know better—but also do better. And for your AAPI celebrations this month? There's still time to book the latest addition to our dynamic, growing roster at Outspoken Agency—meet Nancy Wang Yuen!
Looking for a speaker to talk about stereotypes and discrimination in Hollywood's effect on society? Need a workshop to equip your organization with DEI strategies and training? Or an anti-racism scholar who can address how stereotypes inhibit upward mobility for the AAPI community?
Nancy is a pop culture expert and an AAPI anti-racism scholar who examines Asian stereotypes in the workplace, as well as race and racism perpetuated through Hollywood casting, writing, and storytelling issues. She is an expert in Asian-American representation, shedding light on stereotyping and discrimination in every corner of our culture, from the silver screen to the boardroom. Nancy's work helps audiences understand how AAPI stereotypes in popular media affect real-world practices that hold back many Asian-Americans in their careers, as well as create unsafe spaces within communities. Nancy not only educates audiences about this type of discrimination but also provides actionable solutions for keeping your organization diverse and inclusive for all.
Combating racism within our organizations is not an option; it’s a priority. Celebrate the AAPI community this May not only by recognizing the achievements of all but by taking tangible steps toward creating and sustaining more equitable workplaces and communities.
