The Race and Wealth Podcast Network

We’ve all heard it before: pull yourself up by your bootstraps, American Dream, you could save if you didn’t buy that coffee every day, anyone can make it. What we don’t talk about is the enormous opportunities those who do make it already had. We all know injustice and prejudice exist in the world, but how responsible should you be for exposing it? Is there such a thing as choosing your battles?

Hispanics now make up almost 1 in 4 Floridians. The majority of Floridian Hispanics live in Miami-Dade and Broward county. There are 37.6 million people who speak Spanish at home, and more than half of these individuals speak English very well. What Hispanic Unity offers immigrants are the tools necessary to cement their lives in America. They offer education for children and adults, Citizenship & Naturalization, and immigration/legal services. Although they are located in Miami, the work they accomplish in this county can be instrumental to any non profit.
