Join @MontclairLitFes on Tuesday, April 30, at 7 PM for a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen and New York Times best-selling author @GarthRisk! Co-sponsored by @aapimontclair and Vietnamese Boat People. Tickets: bit.ly/VietMLF
Save the dates for the 5th Annual Mỹ Việt Story Slam! This year’s theme: “MY VIETNAM, YOUR VIETNAM”, inspired by the dual memoir, written by Christina Vo and her father, Nghia M. Vo. Submissions Begin: March 15 Event Date: May 15 (virtual) vietnameseboatpeople.org/storyslam2024
In "Ba", Jennifer Nguyen tells her father's story. She imagines his boyhood migration, contemplates his hopes as a young adult, and reflects on his years as a hardworking man who has lived through many highs and lows. Watch her #VBPJourneys video here: bit.ly/3Szy3AB
Quentin Nguyen-Duy is a playwright and actor. He was also a featured storyteller in our very first Mỹ Việt Story Slam back in 2020! This #VBPJourneys story is based on his original Story Slam video submission, which you can revisit here ➡️ bit.ly/47XFLcm
Wayne Le left Vietnam in May 1981 with 85 people on a small fishing boat, which was picked up by a US submarine 3 days later. He's made a video to document that journey, the rescue at sea, and a reunion with the rescuers from the USS Barbel. #VBPJourneys ➡️bit.ly/3Offpvt

During this year's #GivingTuesday campaign, we raised over $12,000 through our online auction & direct donations on our website, far exceeding our initial goal!!! Thank you so much to our donors and supporters, without whom this would not have been possible 🥳🎉
It's the LAST DAY to bid in our fundraising auction!!! Bidding ends at 11 PM ET. Don't miss your chance to discover and support Viet businesses and creators, do some holiday shopping, and help VBP raise $10,000 to support our 2024 programs, all in one! bit.ly/vbpauction2023
