Each story will inform readers about a man or woman who left a developing nation such as Nigeria, Cuba, Jamaica, etc. seeking a better life for themselves and their families in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
HOLA AMERICA chronicles the struggles of being partially documented, underemployed and over-worked as well as mark the successes of attending college, finding gainful employment, establishing businesses and leaving a lasting legacy for a family.
In each story, you will read of a valuable trait possessed by that immigrant, applicable to any human seeking to advance in life.
