Vu Le hasn’t always been a troublemaker. A first-generation Viet American, he hails from all over. He and his parents landed in Philadelphia when they first came to the States, then moved to Seattle and again to Memphis as he grew up. His parents, he adds, “think I’m kind of weird.” “I went vegan when I was 13. I’ve always kind of gone against the grain,” he says wryly. And after more than a decade leading nonprofit work, he’s stirring things up again. At the helm of a blog he calls Nonprofit AF (short for Nonprofit and Fearless, he tells Next City), he’s constantly and openly criticizing many of the field’s practices, which he says often leave behind the very communities they profess to serve.
