Signature Author
NBC News anchor and correspondent Vicky Nguyen, author of the memoir “Boat Baby,” will be the guest speaker Nov. 15 at the San José Public Library Foundation’s Signature Author Event. Before joining NBC News in New York, Nguyen spent 12 years reporting and anchoring for NBC Bay Area.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Betty Duong, whose family moved to San José following the Vietnam War, will lead a conversation and audience Q & A with Nguyen, who will share her journey as the child of Vietnamese refugees and how her family’s story shaped her life and career. The daughter of immigrants, Duong is the first Vietnamese American and the first Asian American woman to serve on the County Board of Supervisors.
Proceeds from the event support the San José Public Library Foundation, which raises money for the library’s programs and resources. Autographed copies of “Boat Baby” are included with ticket purchases.
The event is set for 1-3 p.m. at Blanco, 12 N. San Pedro St. in downtown San Jose. For tickets, visit sjplf.org/AuthorEvent2025.
