The true definition of The American Dream with Little Dreamers Publishing founders (English)

Welcome to episode 13th of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast; I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz. We have our first video episode with the founders of Little Dreamers Publishing, Nayeli, Nidia, and Nadia. Three sisters started this company to provide bilingual books to Spanish-speaking families. We spoke about their journey of being undocumented in the US and then getting legal status through the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). This act made hiring people without a work permit illegal and provided legal status to most undocumented migrants who arrived in the US before January 1, 1982. We spoke about the importance of education and financial literacy, which is why they publish bilingual books about financial literacy, STEM, art, and culture. And we spoke about their experience visiting Mexico for the first time since they moved to the US. Although they are all sisters, they all have different experiences and memories, and it was beautiful to listen to and learn more about their journey. I admire their strength and their drive. They didn’t let the hardship and challenges they experienced hold them back. If anything, they are using it to provide education to the next generation so they can do better. In this episode, I mention the episode with immigration attorney Chris Acklin. This episode was recorded before it was published, but you can listen to it here. Chris provides information about the immigration process and how policy changes affect his job and migrant’s lives.
