P&G Honors Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month -- Through Action

- But bias, indifference, and even unintentional mistakes can lead to mispronunciation, misidentification and create barriers within communities.
- While completely unintentional, the simple action of having her name mispronounced causes Yeong Joo to feel alienated and dismissed.
- At P&G, we believe that progress starts by seeing the world with a broader perspective and that's why this film was deliberately led by Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) cast and crew members.
- We are not limiting our actions or commitment to AAPI Heritage Month.
