The Asian American Foundation
TAAF serves the AAPI community in their pursuit of safety, belonging, and prosperity.
Five years ago, TAAF was launched—catalyzed by crisis and fueled by urgency and a commitment to the AAPI community. What began as a response has grown into long-term impact rooted in resilience, partnership, and purpose.
Over the past five years, we’ve worked together to invest in the safety and revitalization of our communities, expand opportunities for the next generation, and uplift the stories and identities that make our community so vibrant. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: the power of coming together.
In 2025, that collective effort led to meaningful growth, deeper impact, and a more focused approach—producing research to shape the national conversation, strengthening our work in communities, building lasting partnerships, and continuing to meet the evolving needs of AAPI communities across the country.
This milestone is not just a reflection of what we’ve done, but of what we’ve built together. Thank you for joining us. We look forward to our work together for the next five, 10, and 100 years.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the country is sharply divided over a fundamental question: What does it mean to be truly American?
Today, TAAF unveiled the findings of its sixth annual Social Tracking of Asian Americans in the U.S. (STAATUS) Index—the leading national study of Americans' perceptions of AAPIs. Conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, the study finds widespread uncertainty about the place of the nation’s 25 million AAPIs, revealing stark gaps in how U.S. adults think about the impact of federal policies on Asian Americans and the growing cultural influence of AAPIs. The survey also shows AAPIs are anxious amid mounting federal crackdowns on immigration, trade wars, safety concerns, and other pressures.
“Despite our community’s growing power, a significant share of the public is still forming views about America’s fastest-growing racial group with no direct connection or information," said Norman Chen, CEO of TAAF. "[The STAATUS Index] helps to explain the perception gaps that run throughout this report, and has real consequences for our community’s future."
Building on five years of research, this year's study brings an evolved methodology and expanded focus on policy and current events, developed with input from a committee of leading scholars. To read more, click the link in bio or visit share.taaf.org/STAATUS2026.

Too Asian. Not American enough. But what if we didn’t have to choose?
Today, TAAF launched the "Asian+American" campaign, a national initiative created to embrace and celebrate the full complexity of our Asian American identities. While we’re told to shrink ourselves or question our place, this campaign uses the power of storytelling and personal narrative to assert the opposite: we belong here.
At the heart of the campaign is the short film "Beyond, Together," narrated by award-winning actor @iamsandraohinsta and directed by award-winning director @seanswang, which explores the pressure to choose between identities and offers an intimate look at Asian American individuals embracing their full selves without limits or compromises.
Created in partnership with @wknyc, #AsianPlusAmerican celebrates the pride, power, and complexity of being both. Being Asian American isn’t a contradiction. It’s our superpower.

"[It feels special] to have little girls that look like us, or that live that experience, be able to see not only an example, but one in which they can see these super powerful characters stand strong and unapologetic in themselves," says @tatigabrielle, who plays Jade in Mortal Kombat II.
In the sequel to 2021’s @mortalkombatmovie, Johnny Cage is recruited to join the warriors of Earthrealm in a gory battle against the evil warlord Shao Kahn. Among the fighters are Kitana and Jade. TAAF spoke with the cast members about carrying on the legacy of martial arts films, and being a part of a film that allows for nuanced portrayals of Asian characters.
Mortal Kombat II, an action-packed martial arts powerhouse based on the video game franchise hits theaters nationwide today. To learn more, read the cast's full interview at our blog, THE TAKEAWAY.
“I realized leadership is definitely about knowing how to do it in a way that’s authentic to me,” says Alex Cho of HP Personal Systems Group.
Today, we’re highlighting Alex Cho, who reflects on the importance of leading authentically rather than following a rigid playbook. When asked about the best advice he’s ever received but didn’t take, he pointed to the idea that there’s only one “right” way to lead—explaining instead that effective leadership comes from staying true to who you are.

Only a small share of Americans see AAPIs as highly influential in U.S. culture, even as some recognize their growing influence.
Just 7% of Americans say AAPIs have “a great deal” of influence on U.S. culture, while about half say they have not much or no influence at all. At the same time, about 1 in 3 of U.S. adults say AAPIs have gained influence over the past five years, with the food and restaurant, gaming, and film industries being the sectors in which AAPIs are seen as having the most influence.
Building on five years of research, this year's #STAATUSIndex brings an expanded focus on policy and current events. To read more, click the link in bio or visit share.taaf.org/STAATUS2026.

In 2025, we came together as a community to advance safety, belonging, and prosperity—building on years of learning to deepen our impact where it matters most.
From strengthening neighborhoods through TAAF Cities in Seattle, to supporting students through TALA, to elevating our stories through the “Asian+American” campaign, and advancing national research through the STAATUS Index, 2025 was about both meeting urgent needs and deepening our impact across the country.
At its heart, this work has always been about community—listening closely, showing up for one another, and creating space for pride, healing, and opportunity. Whether in moments of celebration or moments of challenge, we continue to build together toward a future where our communities are seen, valued, and able to thrive in every sense of the word.

I’ve never felt more pride in my Korean heritage than today but it was a long journey as someone who was adopted into a non-AAPI family.
This #AAPImonth I encourage all my fellow AAPIs to boldly use your voice and to speak up because… people pay attention and listen when we do.
*Data in video from the 2026 @taaforg #STAATUSIndex Report. Head over to @taaforg and learn more from the leading national study of Americans’ perception of AAPIs.

“Today’s program is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s about making our mark, and telling the world that we’re simply not afraid to meet the moment,” said @chrisnguyentv.
This past weekend, @aajaofficial, @TAAForg, @apaics_org, and Enfranchisement Productions (@bradjenkins) co-hosted the fourth annual AAPI Correspondents' Brunch at @karravaan to celebrate the important role journalists play in bringing our narratives and stories into homes every day.
Just hours later, an attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner underscored how fragile and high-stakes that work can be—a stark reminder that journalists do their jobs on the front lines of crisis and uncertainty, and the work is grounded in upholding democracy and revealing truth.
Taken together, these moments highlight why gatherings like this matter. Journalists shape which stories are told, how they’re told, and whose voices are included in the narratives that shape our histories and experiences. For AAPI communities—whose stories have too often been left out, misrepresented, or flattened—that responsibility carries particular weight.
On the first day of AAPI Heritage Month—and as the nation looks ahead to its 250th anniversary—we remain committed to creating spaces like this: to support and uplift the storytellers doing this work. Because when we invest in journalists, we invest in a stronger, more inclusive democracy.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
