How are you breaking barriers??   We are back! 

Yessi is a first generation college graduate student, a Latina and an immigrant that is breaking barriers. 

Yessi gained full understanding of her legal status when she was a teenager. When others were starting to get jobs and drivers licenses, she couldn’t. When others were applying for colleges and scholarships, she didn’t know she had options.

What's most powerful about this story is that Yessi NEVER stopped moving forward. Even when she had to go back to Colombia to wait for her papers, even when she was losing hope. She kept going. 

"You are more than your legal status"
