ABOUT
EMPOWER:
Taking place in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo
neighborhood, Kollaboration EMPOWER Weekend will consist of three inspiring
days of events celebrating and advancing the talents and achievements of Asian
American Pacific Islanders in arts & entertainment.
ABOUT
KOLLABORATION:
Kollaboration’s mission is to build
bridges, out-create negative stereotypes, and promote diversity. We
are a global platform to discover, empower, and connect the next generation of
artists and leaders to reach mainstream media prominence and improve diverse
representation.
We see artistry as one of the most
effective and inspiring forms of activism. We focus on empowering
passionate, talented artists to DREAM BIG and pursue creative careers.
We have a grassroots meets mainstream approach with our live events,
artist & leadership development, partnerships, and media content. We
don’t just talk about change, we create it.
