Celebrating 30 Years of Women in Leadership

For three decades, Reel Asian has been shaped by an extraordinary lineage of women leaders. From the organization’s founding to today, every Executive Director has been a woman, each building on the work of those who came before to support Asian artists, stories, and audiences.

To mark this milestone, we’ve created a limited edition 30th anniversary tote bag featuring the names of every Reel Asian Executive Director over the past 30 years. Each name represents a chapter in the organization’s history and a reminder of the collective leadership that helped grow Reel Asian into what it is today.

All proceeds from the tote support Reel Asian’s 30th anniversary initiatives, helping us celebrate the past while investing in the future of Asian Canadian storytelling.

Tote bags are $40 CAD.

To purchase click here and please email online@reelasian.com to arrange pickup from Reel Asian (Suite 448 at 401 Richmond St W, Toronto). Alternatively, purchase in person at the TIFF Shop (350 King Street W, Toronto).

This tote is more than a bag—it’s a tribute to the women who helped build this community.

Stay tuned for more stories about the women behind the names.
