Who's Behind Let's Talk Openly?

Hi! I'm Thuydy Nguyen, (Tweety Union).

I am  first generation born Vietnamese American. My parents are refugees who paid their way onto a fishing boat to escape Vietnam in the late 70’s. I grew up in a “do as I say” type of culture. In my culture, women are submissive and they just do as they are asked. I always felt like I had to live up to that submissive role. Up until my late 30’s, I was afraid to question and talk about things that were not of my norm. I wanted to change that and help others embrace their true self.   


Of course, I too, followed in my family’s foot steps. I did not want to bring shame to the family. So, I worked in the family nail salon and restaurant business. As a nail tech, I enjoyed talking to people about their relationships and relationship dynamics. I wanted to understand how a person worked and what motivated them. I was giving out  free advice while discovering that  I was patient , a good listener, and gave really good feedback. After 16 years as a nail tech,  I thought to myself: 

“Feedback is so good, people need to start charging me to talk to them!”

And this is where my journey begins! Only took me like 12 years of education and training but here I am! I wanted to encourage and have a safe and affirming spot where we can talk about all the topics even the uncomfortable ones!
