El proceso de migración inicia cuando hay un cambio permanente o semi-permanente de residencia, de forma voluntaria o forzada. Comenzar una nueva vida no es fácil, pero el emprendimiento no excluye raza o país de origen, sexo, género o creencias religiosas, pues es importante que las personas migrantes tengan oportunidades que les permitan realizar alguna actividad remunerada para ganarse la vida.

En este episodio nuestra invitada es Laura Trejo, la directora de la organización de asistencia y orientación para la movilidad humana, As Movilidad, nos comparte como el emprendimiento empodera a las personas migrantes, les permite decidir y elegir cómo integrarse a la sociedad en los países de acogida como también diversifican el mercado nacional e internacional.

Se dice que un emprendedor es aquel que se siente capaz de asumir un proyecto que es rechazado por la mayoría, puede hacer frente a cualquier problema que se presente y no tiene miedo al fracaso, además, es muy hábil para convencer a otros del éxito de su idea, como lo hizo Rodolfo De Las Casas, el invitado de nuestro primer episodio en Español, donde habló sobre el equilibrio entre ser estudiante de universidad y un joven emprendedor.
