From Boat Person to Vietnamese Refugee Girl: A Life Transformed

Thuyen Nguyen was nine years old when she and her family fled Vietnam in a small boat. They spent weeks at sea, dodging pirates and storms, before finally reaching safety in Malaysia. Thuyen and her family were then resettled in the United States, where they faced new challenges, including poverty, discrimination, and language barriers.

Despite these challenges, Thuyen went on to achieve great success. She earned a college degree, became a successful businesswoman, and was appointed by President Obama to serve on the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

In her memoir, From Boat Person to Vietnamese Refugee Girl, Thuyen tells the story of her perilous journey to freedom, her struggles to adapt to a new culture, and her eventual success. Her story is an inspiring example of resilience and determination, and it offers a unique perspective on the Vietnamese refugee experience.
