Members of CAPE include but are not limited to east Asians, south and southeast Asians, pacific islanders, and people of mixed race with an Asian descent as a part of their identity. Mere presence of AAPI on the media is not enough; in fact, limited and selective identities that get portrayed on the media have a harmful effect on debunking racial stereotypes, for anything done by a person of color on screen leads to tokenization. By developing a network of Asian American producers, actors, writers, etc. CAPE gives voice to actors, writers, directors, producers, agents, and executives, both emerging and established, and has helped improve the landscape, relevance, and empowerment of AAPIs in the entertainment industry. It also has educational programs and opportunities that allow networking among the AAPIs and building of personal relationships in a field in which they are constantly marginalized. It offers executive programs such as the Young Leaders Fellowship that serves to train future executives in skills such as interviewing and Executive Networking that allows high level executives and creators to form communities.
