Jan 31 2024 • 1 hr 1 min

Discover the untold stories of resilience and ambition as we sit down with Sharet Garcia, the trailblazing founder of Undocuprofessionals. This season, we're not just bringing narratives to the table; we’re bringing solutions, mentorships, and a community that uplifts every undocumented professional striving to make their mark. Sharet joins us to shed light on the immense barriers that these individuals face and the transformative power of recognition and support.

Navigating the complexities of DACA is no small ordeal, and this episode peels back the layers of this crucial program, revealing the real-life implications for those who live in the balance. You'll hear the emotional journey of a DACA recipient who fought through academia's challenges, the crushing weight of 'hustle culture,' and the soaring heights of creating spaces that foster growth and reflection. For allies ready to stand with the undocumented community, we lay out actionable steps to engage and advocate effectively.

Wrapping up our talk, we celebrate the strides made by Undocuprofessionals in connecting talent with opportunity. We go behind the scenes of strategic decisions that fuel the organization's mission, like their annual conference and virtual national mentorship program that now boasts over 700 mentors.
