Exclusive: Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (Cape) celebrates the all-female 2021 graduating class of creative executives of their fifth annual Cape Leaders Fellowship, a selective incubator to equip the next generation of creative executives with the skills and professional network to break into the VP ranks.
“A wide range of research from the Harvard Business Review to the Ascend Foundation confirms that Asian Americans are the least likely race/ethnic group to be promoted from individual contributor roles into management,” Cape Board Chair Sanjay Sharma said. “There is so much work to be done both in front of and especially behind the camera.”
Cape is the premier non-profit organization creating opportunities and driving change for Asian and Pacific Islander (Api) success in Hollywood.
The fellowship is modeled after the Cape New Writers Fellowship and fosters the next generation of creative executives with the skills and professional network to break into the VP ranks and beyond.
