Odisea de Una Boliviana

Alejandra Gonzales is a proud Latina who was born in Bolivia, and immigrated to the U.S. with her immediate family at the age of 10. In this episode, she talks about her immigrant experience, first-gen pressures and overcoming adversities in school, in healthcare and in life. She even teaches us some facts about Bolivia and reps her 80% Incan identity, ayee! I promise y’all this episode will not only be educational, but it’ll be the breath of fresh air we all need. Y’all will laugh, possibly tear up and learn so much from this Bolivian queen. Ale is also a marketing professional for a large tech company in Silicon Valley, who's absolutely obsessed with skincare. She's currently working on turning her obsession into a company that caters to minorities, predominantly the Latin and African-American community.
