“Recipe for Change,” premiering Wednesday on the Jubilee YouTube channel, brings together celebrities, chefs, activists and allies to pay tribute to Asian and Pacific Islander culture and discuss the challenges faced by the community, including an uptick in acts of violence.
In addition to Munn, former figure skater Michelle Kwan, comedian Hasan Minhaj and filmmaker Eugene Lee Yang have teamed up with chefs Jet Tila, Alvin Cailan and Melissa King to host a dinner for comic Margaret Cho; “Think Like a Monk” author Jay Shetty; actors Auli’i Cravalho, BD Wong, Sophia Bush, Asia Jackson, Simu Liu Ross Butler and Brandon Flynn; journalist Lisa Ling; gymnast Katelyn Ohashi; civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen; president and CEO of Time’s Up Now Tina Tchen; and Jubilee Media founder Jason Y.
“The way that we’re treated and the way that we are victimized is in a way that is very shameful to the rest of the world.
“It’s by other women who may not like the way that we look because we have been coined as ‘exotic.’ That seems like something that a white woman can’t attain, but I don’t like being called exotic.
In April, Munn joined stars including Ken Jeong and Winston Duke to shed light on the history of anti-Asian violence in America in a public service announcement.
Munn, whose Instagram bio reads “Proud Asian American,” has also been vocal about putting an end to Asian hate and violence on social media.
