Before the O.C. Women’s March filled the streets of downtown Santa Ana in 2019, Garden Grove City Councilwoman Kim Nguyen held a colorful sign at its forefront.

​

The protest placard listed off all she embodied in adding a dash of defiance to the day.

​

“Young, Mexican, Vietnamese, female, elected — their worst nightmare!”

​

By that time, Nguyen shored up her feminist bravado by becoming the first Latina elected to Garden Grove City Council in 2016. In the city’s 60-year history, no Latino had ever served on council before — period.
