Immigrant Entrepreneur: Angelica Rivera

When Angelica came to the United States, she was only supposed to be here for 6 months to finish high school. Through some rough struggles she was able to stay here past her visa expiration date.

At one point she was undocumented and had many limitations that she had to live in. But with her persistence and determination she was able to create not one, but two companies. Her second company was founded with her husband when she was only 29 years old. That company, Colmex Construction, had lots of difficult beginnings. She mentioned that she would work 18 hour days, pay her and her husband $250 per week just to survive.

She now only works roughly 40 hours a week and you normally don't see a female Latino dominating the construction field. Their business is now generating millions in revenue!
