About the Event:

Join us for a captivating conversation with legendary broadcast journalist Connie Chung as she unveils her highly anticipated memoir. Making history and achieving her dream of being the first Asian to anchor any news program in the United States, Chung also describes her career as an Asian woman in a white male-centric industry where overt sexism was an unfortunate way of the world. Don't miss this scoop of a lifetime to engage with an icon and celebrate a career dedicated to truth, integrity, and breaking barriers.
