A Seat at the Table
The Problem
Black Americans are often not at the table during major, Asia-related decision-making in the public and private sector, leaving a gaping hole in America's engagement with Asia.
Our Solution
Encourage and work with institutions to increase the representation of Black Americans in the U.S.-Asia space and uplift Black voices in U.S.-Asia discourse.
