One project is an animation feature filled with adventure, shadow puppets, and the lores of my family history in China, while the other is a live action film that deals with identity as a young Asian American in today’s modern world.

Not only does he work as an actor, but he continues to adapt and evolve in the fields of writing, directing, and producing. This industry certainly tries to put you in a box, or tries to make you stay in your own lane, but just as I had learned to weave my career into what it is today, I see Chris making similar bold choices as well.

Most of the nominations on the list are rising stars on the cusp of becoming household names, whose influence, we believe, will become monumental. To honor the global community, we've provided space for nominators who do not identify as American. It's important to note: the vastness of the AAPI community means it has deep ties in countries of origin, which includes the rich Asian global diaspora. Good Morning America and ABC News asked influential AAPI leaders, celebrities, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, athletes and more to nominate fellow members of the community for the list. Welcome to the GMA INSPIRATION LIST: Who’s Making AAPI History Right Now?

The month of May is a time to remember those who have enriched the community and others with knowledge, pride and respect. We're publishing The GMA Inspiration List as the community asserts its voice - speaking out and standing up as anti-Asian violence has spread amid the COVID-19 pandemic defining itself on its own terms and increasing awareness of their collective history and future in the United States. The American dream is alive and well within the AAPI community, and we've gathered so many of those dreams here throughout this inspiring list of individuals.

In 1936, Jesse Owens wins four gold medals at the Olympic Games in Berlin, all while sporting Dassler spikes. A majority of German athletes wear Dassler spikes at the Olympic Summer Games in Amsterdam, 1928. Within the first few years, both gain notoriety. The brothers started their factory in their parents' home in 1919, moving into its proper facility in 1924. More, smaller factories are scattered throughout the town, though many did not manage to survive past the 1950s and 60s. Within the town, they're not the only shoe factory. Unbeknownst to them, they place the founding stone of the world capital of sports shoes. A first step in a long history driven by speed and performance: The brothers Rudolf and Adolf Dassler founded the company “Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik” (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory) in their hometown Herzogenaurach, Germany.
