Outstanding Asian American Women Who Dared 2025
On February 13, 2025, we gathered to honor a remarkable group of Asian American women for their significant contributions across diverse fields. Previously hosted in San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, the event returned to recognize 12 women for their undeniable impact and representation of the Asian American community. Six additional women were named Digital Icons for their innovative social media contributions. The event welcomed nearly 280 guests, strengthened the Yue-Sai Kan One World Foundation’s mission, and raised over $500,000 to support One World and the China Institute in America.

These remarkable women have not only achieved personal success, but have also paved the way for future generations, challenging stereotypes, and breaking barriers in the process.
