“My parents escaped Vietnam on a boat after the war ended in 1975 and they came to the United States as refugees,” said coffee entrepreneur Sahra Nguyen. “I was born and raised in Boston … surrounded by lots of immigrant families from the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico. I attended the Boston public school system, which was as diverse as the city of Boston. Having a lot of exposure to diverse cultures at a young age helped shape my love for culture and community.”
