Kim Nguyen

MSc Gender, Class of 2019

What are you currently doing and where?

I run a small Vietnamese family business called Kiju Coffee House & Events.

How do you use what you learned at LSE Gender in your current role?

I learnt that we all need connection, community, kinship and a strong enough sense of belonging in order to survive and thrive. This is what has led me to create a space that prioritises experiences of belonging and meaningful connection.

What advice do you have for current and/or prospective LSE Gender students?

Choose community! Push yourself to spark new connections by finding conversation starters that feel authentic to you. If someone has inspired you to do something, let them know.
