NBC Bay Area is proud to sponsor the upcoming Signature Author Event, taking place Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 1 PM to 3 PM at Blanco, 12 N. San Pedro Street in Downtown San José. The event will feature NBC News Daily Anchor and Chief Consumer Investigative Correspondent Vicky Nguyen in a special conversation with Supervisor Betty Duong.
Vicky will share the inspiration behind her New York Times best-selling memoir, Boat Baby, which recounts her family’s daring escape from communist Vietnam and her extraordinary journey from refugee to national journalist on NBC’s TODAY Show. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A session.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the San José Public Library, helping expand programs and services that support literacy, education, and lifelong learning in our community.
