About the Speaker:
Tony Nguyen, MBA, is the founder of the American Young Leader Exchange, which seeks to develop young leaders through domestic cultural exchange. AYLX empowers American teens to become cultural ambassadors. Youths 14-18 years old pair-up 1-to-1 to live with each other's families to explore America's cultural diversity through the eyes of another American family. AYLX is a scholarship program that covers travel and workshop expenses in the service of expanding cultural competency among our future workforce.
As Tony says, "We each live in our own little worlds. We move to places where we feel that we belong. We spend time with folks who dress like us, think like us, and laugh at our jokes. We consume personalized digital and social media that affirm our points of view and allow us to see ourselves the way we want to see ourselves. Over time we encase ourselves into multilayered echo chambers. How much do we really understand beyond our silos?”
