The annual gala puts the spotlight on Asian Pacific changemakers.
Just in time for the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Gold House, the nonprofit organization that amplifies Asian Pacific Americans (AAPI) voices, laid out its red carpet for its annual Gold Gala. Now in its third year, the event aims to put the spotlight on Asian Pacific changemakers through its A100 list.
