162- Tracey Nguyen Mang - Founder Vietnamese Boat People podcast

Tracey Nguyen Mang is the creator and host of the Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) podcast and nonprofit. She fled Vietnam with her family at the age of three and grew up ashamed by the stigma of being a refugee and struggled with navigating her own Asian American identity.

In 2018, she began to document her family's story and along the way, discovered that there are many others like her, trying to piece together the history. Tracey started VBP by publishing her family’s story in Season 1 of the podcast, and today, the organization shares stories from other families and individuals through its podcast, events and programs. 

Prior to starting VBP, Tracey has over 20+ years of working in strategy and management consulting, social impact and corporate responsibility. She is a frequent speaker on the topics of storytelling and design thinking principles, CSR and employee engagement, and Asian American narratives. She has a bachelor’s from Johnson & Wales University and an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University. Tracey currently resides in Montclair New Jersey with her husband, two kids, a big dog and a goldfish.
