Sabio Celebrates Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month with Creator Television®

TORONTO, May 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- Sabio Holdings (TSXV: SBIO) (OTCQB: SABOF) (the " Company" or " Sabio"), a Los Angeles-based ad-tech company specializing in helping top global brands reach, engage, and validate (R.E.V.) streaming TV audiences, announced today special monthlong programming, and recognition of members from its leadership team celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month on Creator Television ® (Creator TV). Creator TV is the first creator-led streaming network and content studio dedicated to bringing the authenticity and energy of social media storytelling to TV. AANHPI Heritage Month, an annual observance since 1992, celebrates the contributions of the AANHPI community to American history, culture, and society. Throughout the month of May, Creator TV network's Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channel will feature some of the world's most entertaining social stars, including Malaysia's Uncle Roger, The Fake Food Show with Evan Yee (Chinese American content creator), and QPark (South Korean American content creator), along with other tentpole content creators Jenny Lorenzo, Trey Kennedy, Lenarr Young, and Julie Nolke. Additionally, the month is a time to recognize leaders from the AANHPI community behind the scenes of Sabio and Creator TV. Led by CEO and Co-Founder Aziz Rahimtoola, Sabio is National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)-certified, which requires that a business be at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by minority group members. Sabio is also one of the advertising technology industry's fastest growing companies. "Our mission is to build a more inclusive and diverse media ecosystem where all voices are represented," said Rahimtoola. Reflecting on his own background, he added, "I'm a proud first generation Muslim Indian American and father. To bring Creator TV to life for my daughter to see faces like hers and others is a dream achieved. At Creator TV, we welcome inclusive and authentic voices." Creator TV's General Manager Joe Ochoa said, "As a Filipino American, I grew up not seeing myself on screen. When I started working in TV nearly 20 years ago, I didn't see anyone who looked like me in the executive ranks. Today, I'm proud to be part of an organization that embraces diversity of thought at the leadership level, and all levels. At Creator TV, we lean into our nuances, our lived experiences, our unique sensibilities. This is seen throughout our network and the content we provide. I love that I can help make space for the next generation of great storytellers." Ochoa continued, "It's important to celebrate the achievements of today's leaders and encourage younger generations to go beyond what they think is possible. This month is also an opportunity to share our culture and stories with other communities. It creates conversations that promote understanding and appreciation, not just in May, but all year round." Creator TV's Head of Operations Kristi Chiou said, "AANHPI Heritage Month is a time of reflection and pride. I grew up in a traditional Taiwanese American home where success meant becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but I followed my passion for music, which led me to a creative career in media." Chiou explained further, "Early on, I saw how few women and people of color held leadership roles. As an AANHPI executive at Creator TV, I'm proud to be part of that shift. I take pride in being part of the change in front of and behind the camera — helping shape stories and opportunities that reflect the real diversity of the world we live in." Creator Television® (Creator TV) is the first creator-led streaming network and content studio dedicated to bringing the authenticity and energy of social media storytelling to TV. We are redefining television by producing and distributing original TV shows led by the world's most entertaining social stars. Our mission is bold yet simple: to increase representation in television by showcasing creator-led programming that better reflects today's diverse world. Creator TV's tentpole titles are led by Uncle Roger, Jenny Lorenzo, Trey Kennedy, QPark, Daphnique Springs, Julie Nolke, and Lenarr Young. We launched our first free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel on Plex and Sling Freestream in early 2025, with additional distribution coming soon.

Brunch and Business: AANHPI Leadership and Their Unyielding Resilience

Event Description Join Arlington Economic Development's BizLaunch team for an inspiring event — Brunch and Business: AANHPI Leadership and Their Unyielding Resilience — that honors the grit, passion and resilience of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) small business owners who turned dreams into reality — right here in our community. The event takes place on Monday, May 5, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Hyatt Regency Crystal City, located at 2799 Richmond Highway, Arlington, VA. You'll hear firsthand how three founders preserved their culture, pushed through barriers, and built businesses that serve, uplift and thrive. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an ally or simply curious about the power of local stories, this is a moment to connect, celebrate and be moved. AANHPI entrepreneurship has deep roots in U.S. history. As early as the 19th century, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Indian immigrants opened farms, restaurants and laundries in the U.S. — often while navigating exclusionary policies like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Immigration Act of 1924. The tide began to turn with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, paving the way for a new wave of AANHPI entrepreneurs who would shape industries from tech and healthcare to retail and beyond. Today, the AANHPI population makes up 12% of Arlington, 7% of the nation, and 10% of all small businesses in the U.S. Their stories are about more than just business success — they're about courage, culture and building a future for the next generation.

Chef Leah Cohen shares pancit bihon and lumpia recipes

To kick off Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, chef Leah Cohen is bringing flavors from her Filipino heritage into the spotlight. The chef, restaurateur and TV personality, who rose to national fame on Bravo's 'Top Chef' and is the owner of New York City's Pig & Khao, joined ' Good Morning America ' on Friday to share simple, delicious Filipino dishes that are perfect for home cooks looking to explore Asian cuisine. Cohen demonstrated how to make pancit bihon and lumpia, two classic recipes that are as approachable as they are flavorful. Scroll down for the full recipes. Pancit bihon Ingredients 3 Tbs canola oil or chicken fat 1/2 med onion 3 cloves minced garlic ½ cup Julienne carrot ½ cup sugar snaps 1 cup diced cabbage 1 cup chicken stock 1 ½ cup shredded chicken 8 ounces dried pancit bihon (soak in warm water) ¼ cup soy sauce (more to taste) Salt and pepper to taste Calamansi, lemon or lime to taste Directions Braise the chicken In a pot, braise the chicken in water until fork-tender. Skim the stock periodically to remove impurities. Once cooked, remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, and shred it. Reserve the chicken stock for later use. Prep the vegetables Thinly slice (julienne) the carrots. Mince the garlic. Dice the cabbage into large chunks. Blanch the sugar snap peas and set aside. Chop the onions. Sauté the aromatics & vegetables In a large sauté pan or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until slightly softened. Add the cabbage and carrots, and cook until just tender. Prepare the noodles Soak pancit bihon (rice noodles) in warm water until pliable (about 10–15 minutes), then drain. Add the soaked noodles to the vegetable mixture and toss to combine. Build the dish Pour in reserved chicken stock gradually to loosen the noodles and help them absorb with soy sauce to taste. Add shredded chicken, sugar snap peas, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Finish & serve If available, squeeze fresh calamansi juice over the top just before serving. If not, a squeeze of lemon or lime will work as a substitute. Tips from Cohen You need to soften the dried rice -- Using them by soaking in warm water for 10–15 minutes until pliable. No need to boil -- boiling can make them mushy when stir-fried. Prep everything before cooking -- Pancit comes together fast, so have your veggies, chicken, and sauce ready to go. It's a stir-fry style dish, so mise en place is key. Shortcut with rotisserie or roasted chicken -- No need to cook chicken from scratch. I like to use oven-roasted or store-bought rotisserie chicken -- just shred and add it in at the end so it stays juicy and flavorful. Pack in the veggies -- kids won't notice. This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. I load it up with thinly sliced carrots, cabbage, green beans and more. The noodles soak up the flavor and texture, and honestly -- my kids don't even notice the veggies are in there. Lumpia 'In the Philippines, we have two kinds of spring rolls or, as we call them, lumpia-fresh and fried,' Cohen said. 'The fresh version has an almost crepe-like wrapper. While those are delicious, it's the fried version, Lumpia Shanghai, that always puts a smile on my face. ' She continued, 'My parents say that's been true since I was a toddler. I can't wait to introduce my son to these delicious snacks as well, and given that they're a staple at every Filipino party, holiday, and birthday. I don't think that will take long. This roll can be filled with whatever you like: beef, pork or vegetables. The combination in this recipe is my favorite.' Ingredients 4 ounces ground beef 8 ounces ground pork 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger ½ cup water chestnuts, drained, rinsed, drained again, and cut into small dice ¼ cup finely diced carrots ½ small Spanish onion, finely diced 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce ¾ teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon Thai chili flakes 1 medium scallion, thinly sliced 15 spring roll wrappers (I prefer Wei-Chan), cut in half crosswise on the diagonal 1 large egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water 1 quart peanut or vegetable oil 1½ cups store-bought sweet chili sauce Directions 1. Put the beef and pork in a large bowl and gently mix to combine. Add the garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, carrot, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and scallion and mix until combined. 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Take half of a wrapper and place it on your work surface so that a point is facing you. Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling on the wrapper and spread it out to the edges. Turn up the bottom corner and roll upward. Fold in the left and right corners, making sure the filling is nicely packed, with no air pockets. Continue rolling. Dip your finger in the egg wash, pat it on the remaining corner, and finish rolling the lumpia, sealing the edge. The lumpia should be about ½ inch in diameter. 3. Put the lumpia on the baking sheet. The lumpia can be made to this point and refrigerated, covered with a damp towel, for up to 8 hours or frozen in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks. 4. Heat the oil in a wok or high-sided sauté pan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line another baking sheet with paper towels. Fry the lumpia in batches of four to six, until golden brown and crispy and the meat is cooked through, for a total of 4 minutes for fresh lumpia and 6 minutes for frozen. 5. Remove with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Serve with the sweet chili sauce on the side. ** I find that it helps to separate the wrappers in advance; cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out. Tips from Cohen Use a fine meat mixture -- Finely mince veggies and use ground pork (or a pork-beef mix). Avoid excess liquid—wet filling leads to soggy lumpia. Don't overfill the wrapper -- A heaping tablespoon of filling is enough. Overfilling causes tearing and uneven cooking. Roll tight — but leave the ends open -- I like to roll lumpia with the ends open. It lets steam escape during frying, so they turn out extra crispy. Sealing both ends traps heat and moisture, softening the wrapper. Seal with a slurry or egg wash -- Use a cornstarch-water paste or beaten egg to seal the edge and keep your roll intact. Make large batches and freeze -- Lumpia freezes beautifully! Lay them flat on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry straight from frozen—no need to thaw—just adjust the cooking time slightly. Taste-test the filling first -- Cook a spoonful of the raw mix before rolling everything to check seasoning.
