The AsianConnections.com team includes award-winning writers who have a passion for writing stories that directly affect our Asian American communities, as well as stories that help to inform and engage others who want to learn more about our diverse Asian American cultures, lifestyles and people.

AsianConnections viewers have unprecedented access to some of the top experts and celebrities in the world.

A young junior high school student searching for his roots named Michael Kai originally developed the web site. He created it as a personal project to help empower people to connect globally and to help take the Asian experience mainstream. Kai was 14 when he developed the online community to celebrate the achievements and portray Asian people in real life, as diverse, multi-dimensional people rather than the stereotypes most commonly found in mainstream media.

With a significant part of the world population being of Asian descent, from the very beginning, the humble web site created a positive movement with people from all walks of life, from New York to Shanghai to Tokyo who share his vision.

The response also has been tremendous from people learning for the first time about Asian culture, business, trends and lifestyle to celebrities, entrepreneurs and international corporations offering mentoring, good deeds and connections to help improve the personal and professional lives of people.

San Francisco Mayor Willie L. Brown inaugurated AsianConnections.com with Mike in 1998 during a trade mission to China. Mayor Brown praised Mike before press, business and government leaders for his initiative in creating a bridge for people, cultures and countries.

As a teenager, Mike directed numerous initiatives, including the first bilingual Hollywood celebrity simulcast, with action film star Jet Li, produced and syndicated by AsianConnections.com for U.S. and Asian markets, sponsored by Warner Bros.

Mike went on to go to Yale and as a senior won the Grand Prize for an annual innovation competition sponsored by the Yale Entrepreneurs Society. He is now leading his dream internet start-up to enable people to create and manage their own websites fast and free.

While we all cheer him on, we thank him for his legacy of creating AsianConnections.

Today, thanks to his early vision and activism, AsianConnections.com is proud to have advisors, partners and writers from many disciplines including business, news, ecommerce, education, law, government, food, travel, health, feng shui, music, sports and entertainment worlds.
