Inspiring Immigrant Entrepreneurship Nationwide

Today, Millie Chu is an Entrepreneurship Expert and Immigrant Leader with legit credibility and dedication to creating a vibrant community and inclusive economies, but her path hasn’t been easy. After her family immigrated from China to the U.S., school was rough for Millie as aggressive bullies ground her down both physically and emotionally. Before finding success, Millie also survived sometimes brutally abusive relationships before learning her value was far more than the circumstances she could survive.
