Asian Culture and Media Alliance

Throwback to our ACMA Spring 2026 High School Interns! From creating digital content to supporting community events, these talented students gained hands-on media experience while making a real impact. We’re proud of all they accomplished and excited to see what’s next! 💙

Zero-waste farming is more than a method—it’s a mindset. 🌾 At Shared Roots Initiative, we believe every part of the harvest has value. Crop waste becomes compost, water is reused, seeds are saved, and surplus food supports families, animals, and the land.

Representation on screen creates impact beyond film. 🎬✨ Movies like Crazy Rich Asians and Everything Everywhere All at Once helped bring more Asian and Pacific Islander stories into mainstream media, inspiring visibility, confidence, and future storytellers.

Throwing it back to “Just Breathe” 🌿 — an inspiring project created by the talented youth of Take One Media Arts Academy. A powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and breathe through life’s overwhelming moments. 💫 #ThrowbackThursday #TakeOne #ACMA
