My name is Tracy Nguyen, born and raised in San Jose, California. Growing up with refugee parents from Vietnam largely defines who I am today: a driven community organizer with a creative, entrepreneurial spirit. I received a B.A. in Media Studies and Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley, which seeded my activist journey.
Since graduating, I worked within the nonprofit sector to uplift the voices and power of refugees, immigrants, workers, women, youth, LGBTQ community, and incarcerated individuals. With my creative passion for visual storytelling, I decided to take my own vision into own hands and became a freelancer in videography and graphic facilitation.
