Ep. 21 "Fulfilling My Own Destiny" | Library Stories

As an immigrant who successfully climbed her way to the top of the corporate ladder, Lucy Chan is using her retirement as an opportunity to help younger immigrant women navigate their new lives in the city. Through a program at the Library, Lucy has become a friend and mentor to young women who are following in her footsteps—and she has opened up a whole new world for herself in the process. Learn more about how Lucy uses her own experience to guide others, and how being a mentor brings her joy and satisfaction, in this week's Library Story.
