who are the 30 most influential asian americans under 30?

What’s up, my people. Just thought I’d repost and remind everyone about this. I would still love to hear your input…

Looking ahead to the month of May, I’m putting together a feature called The 30 Most Influential Asian Americans Under 30. Over thirty days, I’ll be profiling thirty young individuals who are making an impact in their respective fields, in their communities, and the world at large.

I’m still sort of figuring out how to do this. The now-defunct APA political website politicalcircus.com put together a list like this many, many years ago, and I always thought it was a pretty good idea. So I’m bringing it back. But I need your help.

I’m putting the call out. I already have several people in mind who are going to make the cut, but this list won’t be very good unless I get some suggestions from you. It could be anyone — artists, activists, athletes, politicians, entrepreneurs — as long as they’re 30 years old or younger. It could be someone you’re aware of on a national level, someone in your own community, or someone you know personally.
