Shownotes

Growing up in Canada, Linh Nguyen never thought she'd be on the road fighting for the representation and visibility of in American politics. But like most women, she wanted something done, so she did it herself. Rising through the ranks of Democratic politics and movement work, she eventually landed as Executive Vice President and COO of AAPI Victory Fund which focuses on empowering 24 million strong Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to realize their power. We talked a lot about what she learned and experienced along the way on her professional and personal journey, such as the importance of working with other women of color, being a strong advocate for your community's needs and what happened with the AAPI Vote in the 2024 election.
