One of the big issues in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election was that of immigration and with it the desire to blame those coming from the south for our problems…

But consider this: In America today Immigrants start a disproportionately high number of new U.S. firms. Meaning they are what Mitt Romney calls the “Job Creators”

Here’s what you’ll also find fascinating: An immigrant is 4 times more likely to become a millionaire than a natal born American.

My guest on this episode came to America as an immigrant from Cuba as a small child of an extremely poor immigrant family. She has gone on to become one of the most powerful and influential Latina women in America today.

Nely Galán became a self-made media mogul, and was the first Latina president of a U.S. television network.

She is an Emmy Award-winning producer of over 600 episodes of television in Spanish and English, including the hit reality series “The Swan” and is the first Latina to appear on “Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump”.

She has gone on to found and spearhead: ”The Adelante Movement” a grassroots movement uniting and empowering Latinas socially, economically and politically in the U.S. She is touring the US encouraging Latinas to play a leading role in American society, economics and politics and become an integral part of the national conversation.

In this episode Nely Galan will share her powerful story and why, when she could have just sat back and took it easy, she’s out on tour across the US speaking to women on the importance of embracing and dealing with the very things we often shun, namely; our failures and our pain.

Nely shares that the time of Latin women has come and that we must all become people who are living a life that is mission driven.

This is an exciting show with a powerful woman, sharing with other women that their strength, their power and their influence awaits.

This is just a small sampling of where this great interview goes.
