At Disney, we’re Rising Together this May as we celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. From our employees to our consumers and fans, our celebration will highlight Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders all month long.

We’re celebrating AAPI stories through the power of our unparalleled storytelling, iconic brands, creative minds, and innovative technologies.

“It is so great to see communities coming together, celebrating one another and sharing how we are connected in various ways,” shares Kristine Serrano, director of diversity equity and inclusion at Disney Entertainment. “There’s wide alignment and support across Disney’s multitude of networks, studios, brands, and platforms all celebrating the AAPI community.”

“I am looking forward to the conversations that we don’t often have, the opportunity to lean in and rise together, and the future connections we will have as a result to reimagining tomorrow, today,” adds Ralphie Giron, manager of sensitive information protection, and one of the leaders of AAPI Heritage Month celebrations within Disney’s Business Employee Resource Groups (BERGs).

We continue to innovate and create content that is inspiring, authentic, and inclusive. There are numerous ways to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month throughout May and beyond, including the below:
