Lucy Liu, Stephanie Hsu and Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé are set to receive honors at The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) Heritage Summit and Awards Dinner.

The two-day gathering from May 21-22 celebrates the vibrancy, leadership and growing influence of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community. The Summit convenes voices from entertainment, business, public service and grassroots organizing for high-impact panels and discussions that shape the national dialogue on identity, inclusion and intergenerational change.

“I’m deeply honored to receive this award from The Asian American Foundation,” Liu said. “It stands as a tribute to TAAF’s vision of equity, representation, and lasting impact. I’m inspired every day by the strength and brilliance of the Asian American community, and I’m committed to helping amplify our voices as we shape a more just and empowered future together.”

Hsu said, “I am so honored to be receiving a TAAF award and to be in a room full of people celebrating all the ways it is, indeed, an honor just to be Asian. There are so many ways our community has made leaps and bounds over the last years, and I’m eager to continue to grow our impact within the industry as well as with one another. Grateful to be a part of it all.”

Ranadivé (owner and chairman, Sacramento Kings) will be honored alongside Liu and Hsu.

“I’m humbled and deeply honored to receive this recognition from The Asian American Foundation, and grateful for the opportunity to participate in this meaningful event,” Ranadivé said. “It’s a privilege to stand alongside many inspiring leaders who are shaping the future and uplifting our communities.”

Over the two days, keynotes and panels will be held with Tan France, Joe Tsai, Poorna Jagannathan, Shoba Narayan, David Henry Hwang, Pablo Torre, Juju Chang, Vicky Nguyen, Tati Gabrielle and more.

Fireside conversations with AANHPI athletes, actors, educators and media makers will explore AANHPI representation across film, television and food.

During the summit, the STAATUS Index, the leading national study of Americans’ perceptions of Asian American communities and a deep dive with Russell Jeung, San Francisco State University professor and Stop AAPI Hate co-founder, will be released.

In a statement to Variety, Norman Chen, CEO of TAAF, said, “TAAF’s annual Heritage Month Summit provides a space for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander leaders to come together to proudly celebrate who we are, reflect on where we are going, and rally around issues and challenges impacting our community. Our theme, ‘Together We Are More,’ speaks to our collective power when we come together and lift each other up. This year’s speakers and awardees reflect the brightest minds, most passionate advocates, and talented leaders our community can offer.”
