Ms.Lynn Tang is a film and Broadway musical producer. Before the entertainment industry, she was a Project Manager specializing in international business exchange and she has served as a management specialist for Fortune 500 companies. In 2012, she established ST Culture Advocacy to provide a forum for showcasing international cinema and awarding academic scholarships. Her charitable organization promotes understanding and collaboration among people from different cultures. Through the production of movies, film festivals, art, music, dance, and other venues, she has provided audiences the opportunity to see cultural activities from all over the world. Attending these productions and shows can change the individual’s perception of themselves and the world by raising awareness of a variety of universal issues. These experiences can make them more aware, appreciative, and understanding of people from other cultures and engaged members of our community. She was also able to promote individual career development by providing international film delegates the opportunity to network and share their talent with potential partners and others who would not otherwise have the opportunity to see them. She was also successful in helping students pursue their education and careers by providing a platform to develop their talents through academic scholarships and cultural events. Her programs have empowered people to drive positive change in themselves, their organizations, and society.
