TikTok is commemorating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month this May with a variety of initiatives and events.
AANHPI Voices to Watch
TikTok is showcasing rising AANHPI creators and entrepreneurs through its 2025 "AANHPI Voices to Watch" list. These individuals are making significant contributions to TikTok and their communities across various fields, including entertainment, fashion, wellness, food, beauty, music, and film.
The 2025 AANHPI Voices to Watch list spotlights rising Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander creators and entrepreneurs who are making meaningful contributions to TikTok and in their communities.
TikTok will highlight the work of these talented creators and business owners throughout the month, providing them with broader audience exposure.
Events and Collaborations
TikTok is sponsoring the 2025 Gold Gala to honor AANHPI excellence through the A100 List, alongside visionary creators. The platform will also host community-led events and collaborations to recognize the cultural impact and contributions of the AANHPI community.
TikTok's AANHPI employee resource group, ARISE, will host events throughout May, including live performances featuring AANHPI artists, culinary demonstrations, cultural arts activities, and conversations spotlighting local vendors and traditions. These experiences aim to celebrate heritage, foster inclusion, and build community within TikTok.
