One of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time, Amanda Nguyen is a force for resilience. The Nobel Peace Prize nominee and TIME’s 2022 Woman of the Year joins us to detail her healing journey and groundbreaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard. She discusses her memoir Saving Five, weaving together the story of her activism — which resulted in Congress’s unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act — with an adventure of her younger selves at ages five, fifteen, twenty–two, and thirty as they navigate through the emotional stages of her path toward healing. Nguyen sheds light on her moving journey toward acceptance and hope.
