3 weeks agoActivist, astronaut shares her story at YWCA's Inspire Luncheon
With nearly 800 people in attendance at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Nguyen talked about how her dream of being an NASA astronaut was derailed in 2013 when she was raped at Harvard. Her path then led her away from space and into the world of activism, where she fought to secure rights for sexual assault survivors. That took her to Washington, D.C., where Congress passed and President Obama signed the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act in 2016.
