What does it mean to be Latino in the United States when you might be the only one in the room?Growing up immigrant means navigating things nobody prepared you for: the unspoken hierarchy of birth order, the quiet ego hit of working a job that has nothing to do with your degree or your dream, and the constant tension between surviving and becoming.In this clip, Nick Fuentes Zuluaga, TedX speaker and Engineer, reflex about the resilience that defines the immigrant experience, not as a romanticized idea, but as a daily, unglamorous choice. "This is what we need to do right now." That mindset is both our superpower and our burden.We also talk about representation and why it carries real weight. The idea of "reach and rise", where moving upwards (and forward) is never just about yourself, its about pulling our community upwards with us, as we rise. pulls someone behind you upward too. And why being Latino in spaces where you're the only one is not just an identity, it's a responsibility.🎧 Watch the full interview on  @doce.podcast  and join the conversation about what it really means to build a life, a career, and a community far from where you started.
