| I was undocumented for over a decade and after waiting for the laws to change I bought fake documents and became a vice-president at Goldman Sachs. Now I write books and advocate for other immigrants. I am Julissa Arce, ask me anything! Posted: 13 Jul 2018 07:28 AM PDT Hi, I am Julissa Arce a formerly undocumented Mexican immigrant, Goldman Sachs VP, turned writer, author, producer, and social justice advocate. I came to the U.S. when I was 11 years old from Mexico and when my tourist visa expired, I became undocumented. I remained undocumented not because I wanted to, or because I didn't want to wait in line. I stayed undocumented because "the line" doesn't exist! My story made headlines because I used my fake papers not to work at a factory, or to clean your hotel room (all very honorable jobs), but to work on wall street advising the richest people in America. On July 10th,2018 I spoke at a naturalization ceremony in the nation's capital and my life came full circle. Check out the pictures in my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julissaarce/ I wrote a Washington Post bestselling book about my story called "My (Underground) American Dream." The book is being developed as a TV series at 20th Century Fox with America Ferrera. My second book, a young adult memoir, will be out September 18th, it's called "Someone Like Me" Check out my books, Crooked Media writings and Crooked Conversations (any "Fiends of the Pod" here?!), and other stuff here: www.julissaarce.com Proof: https://twitter.com/julissaarce/status/1017064253998501888 submitted by /u/Julissaarce [link] [comments] |
