Entre Las Sombras Del Sueno Am – (Spanish)

For an undocumented immigrant, what is the true cost of the American Dream? Former Goldman Sachs VP Julissa Arce shares her story. In 2005 Julissa Arce landed one of the most coveted jobs on Wall Street as an analyst at Goldman Sachs. Over the course of the next six years, even while the financial markets crashed, she continued to climb the corporate ladder, becoming a Vice President. As a rare Hispanic woman in a sea of suits and ties, she beat all the odds. What none of her colleagues knew was that she wasn’t just a young woman who broke through ceilings in a cutthroat male-dominated field: she was also an undocumented American from Mexico. In MY (UNDERGROUND) AMERICAN DREAM, Arce opens up about the true price of pursuing the American Dream. In telling her personal story of sacrifice, pain, and suffering, Arce shifts the immigration conversation, and changes the perception of what it means to be an undocumented immigrant.
