Asian Americans are taking every field by storm, and these young game-changers are proof of just that. From 12-year-old Lily Born, whose invention will improve the lives of those with Parkinson’s, to 19-year-old Ryan Potter, who’s relishing in Big Hero 6‘s Oscar win, Mochi‘s list has all corners covered. These trailblazers are at the forefront of their respective fields, whether it be entrepreneurship and technology or sports or arts and entertainment. We hope they inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us.
