YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe story of a woman’s rise to one of the top positions on Wall Street would be illuminating in and of itself. When that woman is Hispanic, the story is that much more valuable for being rare. And when she’s an undocumented immigrant—it’s a story that must be heard. Arce’s important memoir starts with her arrival in the U.S. from Mexico at age eleven on a tourist visa. When the visa expired four years later, she became technically undocumented. Thanks to the Texas Dream Act, however, she was able to attend college, where her talents were recognized, setting her on track for her future as a Goldman Sachs vice president.
