Finding out she was pregnant came as an utter shock to a 16 year old who hadn’t yet realized that her actions had consequences. Letting down her immigrant parents was her biggest fear. She learned at a young age to believe in herself, no matter what.
Today as a 26 year old mother to a nine year old daughter, Yajaira is still eager to prove herself. She thrives off the energy of New York City’s hospitality industry, but that doesn’t mean her career always provides the stability she needs, or that her managers recognize her hard work. As a young ambitious Latina people act like she has time to work her way up the professional ladder. They underestimate the responsibilities she has at home and don’t acknowledge the leadership she is capable of. From memories of her own childhood to her reflections on raising her daughter, Yajaira’s story is filled with inspiration, determination, confidence, and positivity.
