[HCM] VKNU #52: A Life in Chapters - An intimate conversation with Madame Xuan Phuong

​✨ CELEBRATE VIETNAMESE WOMEN’S DAY | AN INTIMATE CONVERSATION WITH MADAME XUÂN PHƯỢNG

​[This event is for women only]

​Some stories are better heard in person.

​This Vietnamese Women’s Day, VKNU invites you to an intimate afternoon with Madame Xuân Phượng, a remarkable Vietnamese woman whose life has crossed medicine, journalism, filmmaking, art, and culture.

​At 16, she left school to join the resistance. She went on to become a doctor, war correspondent, documentary filmmaker, author, and gallery founder.

​Her journey has taken her through many chapters of Vietnam’s history, shaped by courage, curiosity, creativity, and an enduring love for the country.

​Now, we have the chance to hear some of those stories directly from her.

​💬 An intimate conversation led by My Holland, Founder of VKNU and CEO of EQuest Asia, exploring Madame Xuân Phượng’s extraordinary life, her relationship with Vietnam, and the stories behind the woman we know today.
