Lea is a dynamic speaker who experienced a harrowing journey of escaping Vietnamese communists to seek freedom in the late 70s. You might have heard about the massive wave of Boat people who flooded the news back then. For many decades, Lea struggled to find her voice and after 40 years, she shared her story on TEDx stage, and now in her
book I Did Not Miss the Boat- Memoir of a Vietnam-Hoa Refugee. Through her passages, Lea learned that no matter how difficult your challenges or how dire your situation seems, you
have the power to navigate your way through by embracing the unexpected change. If you ride with the wave instead of against the wave, you will find opportunity among the adversity.
Lea’s message is to inspire people to find the strength to transform themselves, to step out of the shadow of fear or regret to live a life of freedom, passion, and purpose.
